I resisted. I stayed away. But finally, the Readercon panel (writeup to come) pushed me over the edge.
You people are evil. Evil evil evil evil evil. Damn you all.
That is all.
Okay, not all. But when you throw me in that metadata briar patch, danger awaits (looks at clock). I've ranted before about the craptastic nature of the CDDB metadata, and now I'm busily going through and fixing up LibraryThing data. (I'm very picky about my metadata quality.)
The username is my usual one, of course, since it was available.

OK, five when you add in the German edition.
And then I tried to do an entry for Understanding Comics ...
