    1. [LDS-WC] Indexing and arbitrating
    2. Pam Petterborg Ingermanson
    3. I have had a LOT more compassion for indexers since I started help indexing and especially since I started arbitrating. It is not so easy to criticize now that I am making the decision as to what shows up. That is why I am indexing and arbitrating my head off so that I can contribute as accurate a record as possible. I read and reread and reread and reread the instructions and the updates so that I follow them as accurately as possible. Some of the instructions are buried pretty deep down inside and are hard to find. I am sure many people do not dig deep enough and read all the instructions. They are probably upset when I ding them but they have not followed "the rules". I know the work that is being done is important and that many miracles will need to happen for it all to come together but oh my goodness, look how far we have come in the last 10 years!!!! ~Pam

    3. Sometimes I ding both indexers when it is that clear, usually it is the spelling of the names (use zoom in when necessary. It's there for that reason.) David S.
