Samuel, this a really important point. A great number of the inventories at
Peeron are converted from other sources, and some are from years ago when
world-wide AR levels were not as high, so it'd be nice to know just how much
accuracy you can expect. As well, the presence of an inventory shouldn't
discourage people from checking it again, unless it's been done, perhaps,
twice from MISB. Some of the new ones we're importing now will really need
verification, and it'd be nice to see in the lists which ones they were.
Maybe a five-star rating system or something like that.
Cheers, Heather
