I am a simple-minded person myself, so when people start to nest the entire contents of one old thread within a different dormant thread, it's like showing me that can of frozen OJ and asking me to concentrate. But I think I've issued this warning already (to DPow, IIRC). Don't be poking at this sacred burial ground with a stick - nothing good can possibly come of it. Have ye learned nothing from all those mummy's curse movies. Also, if you're a nubile teenager and it's Friday the 13th, don't have sex with your date - the couple that are making out are all the first to be mown down.
Ginnie no longer appears to be on the site. All the messages I had received from her have disappeared from my inbox, and she no longer shows up on the "Top Reviewer" list.A sad and puzzling business.
I think there is something very sad about seeing Ginnie's name there in the #2 spot, now that she has eliminated all her friends. That "0 friends" is very poignant. But what I really would like to understand in the whole popularity sweepstakes is, WHO IS CALVIN DOTY and why does he get more profile views than the president? There must be some kind of subtle internet concept art game behind it.
I was amazed to find that there are reviewers on the top 10 list with whom I have, respectively, 3, 8, and 0 books in common. With over 2000 books apiece, you'd hardly think it would be possible.
