Richard I'm not privy to the sending out of these responses regarding flaws in files. However I'm sure some slight rewording would be useful such as: ******************************************************************************** Following the recent database update the following file was reported as having errors BigMal/1928B4H0475 Will you please click the "View Error" button against the file for details of the error and and correct the file. If you require assistance please contact your Co-ordinator or vol-coord@freebmd.org.uk (or whoever) Thank you. FreeBMD Admin Team or whoever ******************************************************************************* It isn't as difficult as you make out to find the flaw. This is my understanding of locating the flaw: The file which contain the flaws will be highlighted in red and clicking the View Error button will show the flaw. For BigMal/1928B4H0475 it would have shown: Invalid late entry reference, at line 90, should be "#THEORY,REF,See quarter/year", e.g. "#THEORY,REF,See D/89" (got #THEORY,REF,See M'40) To correct the flaw the #THEORY had to be changed to read #THEORY,REF,See M/40 So how did you or your volunteer work out what the flaw was with BigMal/1928B4H0475 Allan Raymond ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Oliver" <richol@arrakis.es> To: <freebmd-syndicates@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 8:13 PM Subject: A "demand" for a correction Normally when a flaw is identified in a volunteer's uploaded file, he or she receives a very polite and civilised note from the FreeBMD Corrections Coordinator, Kevin Howell, pointing out the details of the error and requesting it be rectified. This works very well and is appreciated by all. Today one of my Syndicate received a curt note from some anonymous body, which I am copying below. It makes no mention of what the flaw might be, and has put my transcriber's back up considerably, not to mention my own. Please can this nuisance stop?
