I just WL'd a book.  I wanted to see where I fell in line on the list.  #1 out of 156!  How can this be???

They've been having a lot of glitches recently between upgrades to the site and the server power outage.  It'll probably correct itself if it hasn't already.

I was waiting for you Mary.  I just knew you'd have an answer.  I almost pm'd you!

You were right.  I'm now 156 of 157.  Hee-hee

Good thing I'm not in a hurry!

Well gee. I didn't know I came off as such a know-it-all.  I've seen people post this before. Which just goes to show I spend way too much time here.

Oh Mary, I meant it nicely!  I love your advice to me and other folks.  It seems like you're always right on the money or should that be book  lol?

I can't agree without implicating myself!  :-)    It's just all about trying to be helpful, eh Mary?

Mine did that too!  Just a couple hours ago.  I almost posted in here but then I thought I'd wait and see if it fixed itself.  And it did.

Too much time on here?  Is that possible?

I wasn't offended. I thought I had put a smiley there. 

I do spend way too much time here. My TBR would probably be half the size if I spent less time here.

Makes me wonder what would have happened had someone posted that WL book into FIFO before the glitch reset itself.  Would you have had the book offered to you or not?

Now wouldn't that have been a bummer for the others and a nice thing for me!  I would have read fast.  :)
