I'd watch out with some of that stuff. Remember old Greecian Formula? Well, a friend of mine runs a hair salon or whatever you call it. She says that a guy came into her shop and wanted his hair died without telling her about the other stuff he was using. I might say that his hair went up in a puff of smoke, but I'm sure it wasn't quite that extreme. Vanity, vanity. <grin>

Bob, just-for-men is supposed to remedy that. I'm not sure they have anything analogous for women. Anyway, I don't use it & mine's becoming similarly tinged.

For example, James Joyce's Ulysses. I thought that I would probably never rate a book adult, but fairly recently I proofed one of those romances that got pretty steamy, and I felt in good conscience thatI had to rate it adult. But I may never press the adult button again. In other words, there is lots of gray in my book preferences. I think the same thing is true concerning how we treat each other on this list. For the most part, everyone treats their fellow list members with respect, I think. But, sometimes in the heat of battle, we say things weregret right after the send button is pushed. Sometimes, in the anonymity of email, we act pretty childish, I don't know why, but some really nice peoplein person become real tigers while driving their keyboard across the internet. But I think as long as we show each other mutual respect, the battles won't leave any lasting scars. At least I hope not.

Obviously, if a book is available in an adult bookstore, it's adult. Clearly, if some1 calls some1 else a stupid so-&-so, they're rude. From there on, however, things begin to get grey, & what seems rude to 1 person may not seem at all rude to another & what appears to be adult content to 1 may not seem so to another. Perhaps understanding that most of the time we're dealing in grey areas might help folks tone down responses just a bit & also might help folks to give a little info as to why they rated a particular book adult or no. Just a piece of my mind, which, arguably, I can't afford to give, but... -- Change the world--1 deed at a time Jackie McBride Check out my homepage at: www.abletec.serverheaven.net & please join my fight against breast cancer <http://teamacs.acsevents.org/site/TR?px=1790196&pg=personal&fr_id=3489> To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
