While it's true that, once we've registered, labeled, and released a book, we do rather hope it will keep traveling, there's certainly no time limit set by the site as to how long someone can or should keep a BC book before passing it along (and no way to enforce that if there were!). I'd much rather the finder felt happy to keep the book than pressured to pass it along - and while it is nice when someone loves a BC book so much AND values the "traveling book" idea so much that they will release the BC copy and acquire another one to keep, I think it's unrealistic to expect most people to do that, especially if they're not rabidly-active BCers like some of us {wry grin}. I do wonder why some people get so upset at the PC-status anyway; it's not as if that means the book's never going to travel again. Lots of people use that status just to keep others from requesting the book for trade, and even those who mean it as "I'm keeping this book indefinitely" will pass it along eventually - if only at the estate sale!
