I don't want to get in the middle of this discussion on here, because I don't want a bad rep for bashing bookcrossers...I offered to help at the end of the WW discussion forum. However, this has not just happened once. Several of the posts revealed that people had brought this to WW's attention in other forum posts and she had made apologies and promises and then it keeps happening again and again. I don't think the intention of those who are participating in the discussion are mean-spirited. They are just trying to help other bookcrossers in the long run.
