re: Points policy change thoughts
I just got an incredible shock. It's the first time I've been on BM today. Mine has gone from about 0.85:1 to 1.35:1. I won't be able to use my points before I run out of ratio. Most seem disinclined to send OS already & it's getting harder to use postal services internationally anyway, so this is just another nail in the coffin of international book sharing. There may be some good reason for this, but I can't imagine what it is and I certainly wasn't warned about it. It seems exceedingly cruel to regular users to have installed the change retroactively too. I don't understand why I'm to be penalised for mooching overseas, even if I could get someone to agree to send me something. I give 2 points for the mooch and my mooch ratio is increased by 3 books?? I can't even support those willing to send overseas by mooching from them because I will be hit with a penalty for doing so. It seems to me a very strange and nonsensical thing to have done.
