Virginia and I are aware of this problem and have already done some work in this
area (OK Virginia did the hard ground work).

We are just waiting for some finishing touches to be done to the software to give
both of us access to FreeBMD to remove such volunteers.

Our most immediate attention will be given to the removal of volunteers who have
registered on the system 2 or more times (the record is currently a volunteer with
6 SubmitterIDs).

Dave et al,
While we are on the subject of transcribers who are no longer active can I
ask what the position is with the number of people who subscribed but have
never actually transcribed anything. When I look at the status list, there
are several hundred (a guess - I gave up at 120 and I was still on names
beginning with A!) people who have never submitted a thing. I understand
that some people help out in other ways so don't have time to do the manual
graft, but surely not that many.
Should these people be contacted to see if they intend to become active, or
if they perhaps need help to get started.
I realise that perhaps this is probably considered a minor problem on the
list of things to do - I am happy to volunteer to contact them if it is just
a case of waiting for someone to do it. Then I could pass those who need
advice on to Virginia ;-) (I said she might live to regret saying she would
handle all the newbies I could send her way)
Regards
Sheelagh
