Hi, Jackie. I think we can all agree with you on that, but the holds that get taken by someone other than the person they were meant for that ticks us off are the ones that were only up there for sometimes only a matter of minutes or hours before someone else snags them. I'm all for someone else taking a book if it has a hold for someone who hasn't taken it in months. Take care.

U know, yall, I'm just a newby so a) I don't wanna tick any1 off; & b)
therefore this observation doesn't count--but there have been books up
there on step 1 for months that say hold for so-&-so.  I won't take
them, & I think others feel likewise, because first I believe & I
think others do also that doing so bespeaks a lack of integrity &,
2nd, well, folks get bent out of shape when a book held for them gets
taken.  So, there they sit, & somehow that doesn't seem quite right to
me.  But, like I said, I'm just a newby & what do I know?  Still, it
seems to me from an admin point of view that this hold for tag should
be stripped from a title if not taken in a reasonable period, say 5
days to a week.  Probably could be built in2 a crawler or bott or
whatever u wanna call it.  Obviously there might be exceptions to why
a book should be held longer, e.g., it's in a foreign language & there
are only a few validators who read that or it requires some sort of
specialized knowledge possessed by 1 or only a few validators--but the
books whereof I speak do not seem to fall in a category like that.
Just a thought, my dad used to say I didn't get paid to think, & yeah,
he's probably right--it's likely worth exactly what yall paid for it,
but, o, well.
