Rule #: (6) No trying to jump the Wish List "line" by offering or asking for postable Wish Listed books.  Postable Wish Listed books should be posted and swapped "officially".  This of course does not apply to posts advertising an alternate ISBN  (or non-ISBN version) of a Wish Listed title; it is fine to advertise that you have those posted to your bookshelf.

It's really just bad form. You seem to know this, having seen the rules and listed them here. Just be patient and it WILL come. Keep checking the BB, you may find someone posts an unpostable copy or an ARC, which has helped me snag WL books ahead of time (that is, if you're willing to take those, and remember, they cannot be reposted.) Just hold tight and wait for the thrill of seeing that WISH GRANTED in your mailbox. :-)

I find the silence interesting.

I would guess that everyone agreed with Heather and didn't feel the need to comment further.

Hmm. I guess,  I'm redundant. Well that's good in a way. Let it die.

We all want wish listed books which is why they are on our wish list. LOL

If you aren't picky as to format/edition, just click on the authors and you may find some other copies in the system.

Sometimes, I'll just post a reminder that this is a book that several people are on a wishlist for.  If I'm not first in line, I won't benefit immediately, but I can at least move up the list a little while other folks' wishes are fulfilled.  And you can always request an unpostable copy.

I am guessing Elona is being "subtle" in telling everyone to quit asking for wish listed books cuz it's against the rulz?

Wow,

You win the $50,000.00 prize, Laura. Your the first!  Congratulations.  I think my humor is a bit too dry. I'll have to tweek it in the future. But the responses have been truely interesting. And informative!

Elona

I won! I won! I won! 

I won first place for all my wish listed books, right?  Bwah, hahahaha.

"I  think my humor is a bit too dry."

No, not at all. It's moist and delicious---like devil's food cake.

I don't get it....must be slow or missing something.    And what is truly interesting about the responses?  

Count me in for not getting it either. To me, it reads as someone who KNEW the rules, admitted she knew the rules, said "I don't care about the rules, I want XYZ and I'm going to try to get it" and when she was gently pointed in the right direction, tries to cover it up so she stays in good PBS graces. When I first read it, I rushed to help her so she didn't get flamed to PIECES. I think the others here did too. I really don't think this was an attempt to be funny.

Hi,

"Club rule - Please, if you cannot be courteous and respectful, do not post in this forum.

Repectfully,

Elona

"I don't get it"

"Count me in for not getting it either...I really don't think this was an attempt to be funny"

I read the post as 100% pure, unadulterated sarcasm.

 <shrug>

Elona- thanks for reposting the rules. Maybe also include the one about not trying to jump ahead on the WL line. Oh right! You already did the first time! It is always good to have a refresher. I find that by following the rules, PBS works best for everyone. And it's GREAT to follow the rules! Very good example to be setting. ;-)

Best,

Heather

That's the spirit, Heather, you've got the hang of snarkasm now ; )

Now aim it at the people who actually ignore the rules. For example those who continue to POST IN ALL CAPTIAL LETTERS.
