That you keep on insinuating that the Mobileread library is full of hack jobs without any standards is a serious insult. You feel entitled to this insult in the face of being given authoritative, painstakingly proofread editions of many classics by HarryT; beautifully crafted and exclusive (literally: not to be found anywhewre else) complete editions by pynch; the most beautiful illustrated ebook editions of Mark Twain's works that you can imagine by GrannyGrump; the best ebook edition of Shelley's poetry available anywhere by charleski; countless books that are only available as pdf-scans elsewhere, which have been OCRed and formatted for the Mobileread library by many uploaders who put in countless hours of work - and so on. You get it all for free here, and won't stop complaining and thus insulting all uploaders, and yet you feel insulted?
It's been a while since I met someone with such a shameless sense of entitlement.

This is a load of crap.
I'll state it in one sentence: If you're going to upload a book, IT IS WRONG TO MAKE CHANGES to the text without clearly noting those changes.
Is that simple and understandable enough for you?
