So far Mr. Roseberg is the only one who has expressed a disinterest.  If you
are disinterested the n key works great.  However, I am willing to put a
distinctive character in the Subject Title (if that is where it should go?) --
does anyone have any ideas as to what this should be?  Generally the phrase
"Books" or "Book List" is in the title, would that do?

As far as book reviews go, the Leepers provide a lot of book reviews.  In fact
at times this group is filled with their book reviews.  Most I use the n key on
but some I am interested in.  So big deal.  They put in a lot of work reading
the books and writing the reviews.  We are all doing this for the fun of it,
no one is being paid to do this.  Mr. Rosenberg is free to submit book reviews
to as well as everyone else.  Let's see more if that is what the majority
wants, except someone has to submit them -- OK?!!!
