one is easily distracted while working at home, that's why sometimes their focus is not where it should be

Some ride Shetland Ponies? Well NOW I understand much more. My grandfather told me to ride on a pony can make you sometimes b...d. Maybe he was right  ;D

Upload is waste time.

Not uploading is even worse: none of not-uploaded pictures are usually accepted

Me too! None of the pictures I haven't uploaded have ever been accepted. Odd isn't that?  ???


Poor max headroom, comes here new and asks a question and we end up with horse pucky from the Shetlands.  ;D

Not on the Shetland Islands!  from there you can even upload Kodachrome trannies, without scanning. Anything is possible on the Shetlands.

Come to think about it; SS never accepted my pictures from the Shetland Islands. Does that support your theory, or disprove it?

and That Number was the last i heard about a year ago. reviewing is a pretty transient Job. very underpaid and the burnout factor and turnaround is very high.

I can't believe it's less than $0.5 per image. If so, it would be a third world salary considering the type of job (non-stop in front the computer).
