Amen Kellie.
Maybe I'm fussy, but it seriously annoys me when I go to validate a book
that is replete with garbage characters. It would seem to me that the
submitter doesn't take sufficient pride in their submission, and that they
are relying on the validater to clean up all the garbage, or that they are
just knocking out the scan for the credits. Now I understand that not
everyone can produce great scans, but they can at least get rid of some of
the repetitive garbage like ~ ^ \ | > etc.
