Well I think a book hoarder is a dishonest person when the book rings/rays were sent in good faith that they would continue on. I never expect wild releases to get journaled, but I do them anyway. I have been "burned" on trades. I give generously of RABCKs and have received the same in kind. This is a relaxing hobby, Gina. You need to remember that a promise is a promise and you should honor it. She continually promised (even 8 mos ago) to move the books along. She didn't. She lied. She asked for more books! Newbies are thankful for this information. If you have been reading the forum thread, you will see that some good as come from this "outing." kz4ufo and yvi-1 are going over to her house to pick up the book ring/ray books and get them back on their way. Many other bcers have offered to send money for postage to these two wonderful ladies to help defray the cost and have offered to move the books along. See .... we are a kind community of booklovers. Now I wonder what WW is going to do with 6,000+ e-books she purchased last month on ebay. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=justshelly2&iid=6920830601&frm=284 Just click on the item # link on the page that comes up. Oops.... I posted another link. ~Sissyrun~

I can understand being disappointed when your book sharing hobby doesn't go the way you intended or thought it should, I just don't see letting it make you catty and mean about it. > > Good grief, if missing a ring or a ray because > someone hoards it is such a crime" just go out and buy the darn book!
