OK, I've started a poll so we can get a feel for who's read the book and who hasn't! Also some of the general information about the participants in the book klub. You can change your vote by clicking on Remove Vote and revoting!

I vote for removing the Robin Rule (see Book Klub Guidelines.) Hey!  I don't know which is more disturbing: that this is an entry on the poll, or that people are voting for it!  If I get the opportunity to plead my case, then let me say this: Give me a chance to offend you before you rescind the "no killing the moderator with a stick" rule. I mean, I know I can do a good job of offending someone(s), if you just let me try. That is all. I approve this message. |

It is disturbing isn't it--2 out of 3 respondents so far seem to want to remove the Robin Rule. I'm guessing you were the vote against. Betsy

Oh, now that is just priceless. I must have a rabbit like that. Where might I acquire one?

Perhaps it should. If our psychic vibes are too closely linked, the mob with sticks and torches might come after you.

Oh, I'm reading it...I was thinking I might have to defend Robin from stick carrying book readers but she's probably tougher than I. At the very least all the Book Klub leaders should be firmly against revoking the Robin Rule.

I hope they're not forming an angry mob in the Not Quite Kindle forum. At the very least all the Book Klub leaders should be firmly against revoking the Robin Rule. Thanks Scott! clearly the other forum leaders have not yet considered that if I am killed with a stick, it will become the <insert name here> Rule. |

Oh, I'm firmly on the side of keeping the Robin Rule. Down with ...  I won't be joining your Klub because I don't do vampire books, but I love your mascot. Instead of the leaderboard for the Klub in your siggy, maybe you should put vampire bunny. |

mean, nasty, sharp, pointy.........LOOK AT THE BONES, MAN! You mean behind the rabbit? Certainly we will miss you in the DUD klub, gertie, but I understand that vampires are not everyone's cup of Type A. I like the suggestion of the bunny in the sig line, though. |
