Let's get over the 'presentation' of the issue (which we all are thinking in the back of our minds sucked) and understand how we call can produce better scans without getting overly defensive or protective about it (both reactions don't really help, and frankly aren't fun to read played out in a public list).

I'm literally the one doing it now.  Got a problem with it?  Tough, you're not the one doing *these* documents.  Literally nobody is asking you to take on the magnanimous task of "cleaning them up".  Do it yourself or step aside, but again, don't derail a thread about work I am going to do to lob criticism of work you aren't going to do.  Be childish somewhere else.  Sorry Al is stinking up this thread, this is the last thing I wanted, I'm just contributing.
