You are a librarian. Is there anything stopping you from doing this yourself?

Anyway, it is done.
One tries to teach someone how to fish instead of giving them a fish, and somehow ends up being called "horrible". I've pointed this out to dozens of librarians, and this is the first time I’ve received such a response.No one called you a liar. You were probably doing something incorrectly, and if you had explained exactly what you did and how it failed, we could have helped you learn how to do it properly.

I'm grateful for the many experienced librarians who so freely shared their knowledge when I first began librarian edits and requests. David, your Goodreads knowledge has been an invaluable resource for me over the years. I appreciate your expertise and your dedication to Goodreads and your fellow librarians.
