similar) and then hold a vote to nominate a site owner.
Each candidate could briefly spell out their proposed policies and...

Help - yammy is cyber-stalking me! by
Bob
Yammy keeps cyber-stalking me!
He's obsessed with me and keeps track of every single post I make!
I think he is in serious need of psychiatric help!
Not to mention the fact that he's a hypocritical, sanctimonious windbag!

Question about "The Little Prince" copyright page by
otisburg
Hi, I've got two copies of "The Little Prince" - the first is a green
hardback dated 1943, Third Printing (Reynal). The other is dated 1943
(Harcourt), no mention of "X printing", but halfway up the page it says
"m. 2. 59". Does this mean it was published in 1959?
I also have an Educational...

Toad Croakings: was "Lawrence Person - Abuse Background" by

I just noticed that Lawrence Person has switched ISP.
Far be it from me to suggest in any way, shape, or form that Hoppy is
even remotely important, but for the edification of the non-trolling,
non-spamming readership of these newsgroups, I switched ISPs because I

I have a book by Donald Westlake, namely
"Horse Laugh and other stories", published by Eurographica in 1990.

Warning: Old books disappearing! by
[email protected]
Have you noticed how scarce old books are
becoming?
Of course, to consider the matter, you need
a definition of "old books" in the context
of my question. Let us, then, say books
printed in the 1920's and earlier, since
most such books have a sufficiently old
look.
