Good idea, Dirk. I was looking at the problem from one angle and you the other. Anyone can join, but have the requirements spelled out in detail as to what we expect from the members of the House.

Most of the books/short stories I've posted here on TNBW I've also posted on Booksie. So, in my case, no duplicative efforts need me made. I, too, have noticed the slow pace of postings on Booksie. It seems a lot of new accounts are being created every day, but none of them seem to be posting--or reviewing--other's works. The 'number of reads' system seemed to work for a while, but I now think a lot of the "reads" are simply bots who jump from post to post, but never leave anything behind other than one more "read."

As far as enhancements go, I'd love to see a much better way of deleting your followers other than 10 (or less) at a time. A simple check box would suffice, then click a button that gets rid of all the checked accounts. I have gone back to my early days and found scores of people who left Booksie ten years ago and have never returned, yet, they still appear in my fan list. Looks impressive, but I like my account to be a little more lean and mean.

I think you nailed it by your example, Dirk. The third "e" changed the dynamic from two "e"s (ie) to whatever you want. Add a fourth "e" and you'll stretch it out more.

Thanks, Dags. Much appreciated.

Wonderful news, MJ. I felt the same way once my cancerous kidney was removed 20 years ago. Nothing is more pleasurable than getting a clean bill of health from competent professionals.

Bill

So sorry to hear this, Alan. Special prayers for the both of you.

Bill

Oh, no, Marylin. So sorry to hear this. Upcoming times will hard to get through, I know for a fact, but I'm praying you'll endure and get back to us in fine form. It can be done, it just takes a while.

Both my children have promised me they will do the same for me and/or my wife. Having had this close-up view of the level of assistance given to those who have been forced into care homes, and will never leave under their own steam, I do not wish to come here again. I am over 80 (soon to be 82) and my health has improved greatly since the bypass. I hope both my wife and I continue in relatively good health now that we've reached out 60th year of marriage.

A big round of applause to your healthcare insurance, Alan. A huge improvement over some companies I can name.

Another update: Walking a lot more now, after a short setback due to mild flu at the rehab center. Ankles and feet swollen, but manageable with care. Hope to be home soon and back in full action.
