Ann added as moderator!

[Carol/Bonadie]

I figured there should be another moderator in case I was ever out of commission, so I asked Ann Rumsey if she would join me and she has graciously accepted. So now you guys HAVE to behave!

[Sherry]

congratulations, ann!

[Dan in AZ]

Uh oh, an appointment by executive order.

[Ann]

Thanks, Carol!
This should be seamless. And I hope you are never out of commission!

[Amy]

Me too, but great news. Congrats Ann.

[Melodie]

A co-queen!!! LOL

[Susie]

Great choice! :)

[Merrilee in AZ]

Thanks , Ann

[LizH]

Well, congrats!

[BarryP]

I'll try to treat you the same. Not sure if that is good or not.

Watch out, Dan, you may be next!

[Ann]

Melodie: I like the sound of that! LOL. But it won't go to my head. Remember when we were on the AOL message board and every once in a while the "powers that be" would figure out we were moderator-less. It never seemed to be an issue. We are a friendly bunch!

Congrats Ann! Thank you Ann and Carol for taking care of us! I just had an email from an old AOL friend reminding me of the AOL book boxes...did any of you participate in those

[Ann]

Remind us of a few more details, Dawn, please if you have them, my memory is only sputtering at this one!

i remember those- my "lilith" group did one.. we had a box that went from person to person filled with books and other misc. things- when you got the book, you'd add a book and something else, then take out a book and one "something". i still have a pen with a book on top of it that i got out of one of the boxes.

[Dawn]

Yep...we used to all have so many books that we already read, that someone would send a box of books with a little gift inside (like a notepad, candle, etc). When you received the box, you would take whatever books you wanted and add the same amount, plus the little gift, and send it on to the next person. I think I might have been on the list from the Booktopia board.

[Ann]

Ahh, that sounds really nice!

I remember those from some group I participated on on AOL, maybe the Book Nook Cafe group or the Diet Books group. The M/T group never did one though.

[Donnajo]

congrats ann. see what happens when I don't check all the threads all the time and only the few I get emails on. I thought it was time to get here and go though them all.
I remember the boxes never got to get involved I think bookatopia or one of the other boards was just complaining of boxes missing because of the mail system or people complaining so they were stopping them for awhile. I always thought it sounded like a fun idea. didn't know about the something else part just thought they were books.

congratulations Ann. Maybe you can whip me into shape to get to the TBR pile.

[Ann]

Lynne thanks, hmm if I could do that for my own TBR too this moderator gig would really be special! ;-)
