I just found my account was hacked, so that might explain some of the garbage appearing randomly under reviews (assuming my account is not the only one to be hacked). Some of the other "questions" are patently there to get people to click on their profile names even if no links are embedded. Goodreads' security options are lacking - e.g. we don't have to approve "friends". And authors have no ability to approve Qs?

I have the power to skip or flag peculiar Q&A entries. I should likely skip more of them, but years of ingraining from public schools -- answer every question you can on the test! -- is hard to overcome.
I do have to approve "friends", but as this is a public site for, well, publicity, I don't vet them. (For one thing, that would be much too large a tax on my time and attention.)

Given that the first article of the Betan constitution is "access to information shall not be abridged", how do the Betans always manage to stay one step ahead in R&D, especially in weapons systems? Is it just that Betan engineers and scientists are so far ahead in competence and understanding that the rest of the galaxy has to scramble to keep up?

Greeting from your formerly Ohio librarian friend who now lives in Seattle. Have you heard of this? It just debuted on Facebook and online, there's an app too. Romance based, but I believe your books are romance based in addition to science fiction. Not sure what you have to do to be an author on the site. Might be worth checking out. https://bookandmainbites.com
