Very much agree on reading proofs on paper and the difficulty of restraining oneself to mere typos! I used to proofread in school and university holidays and I caught some horrific factual errors by quite renowned authors who should have known better! Red pen for typos, blue for interfering. And no, you really don’t get very long, though it used to be the case that it would have been read by a couple of proofers and corrected before it went to the author.
