My 'discovery' of BookTalk is a bit more prosaic than that of others. I was looking for ezBoards that discussed books, and this was in the top ten search results.

I've not been here for a while, but Chris just left a link on another board I visit. So, I thought I'd pop back again sooner rather than later.

You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that need altering. The Doctor, The Face of Evil.

So my tactic of putting the BookTalk logo and link in my signature actually works! This is good to know. I'll be doing more of this in the future.

Are you the admin of that site? Looks to be pretty active.

More like a referee. It is very active, solid core group, lots of foot traffic, the occasional barking lunatic. I enjoy it there for the most part. Your style was a welcomed repreve.
