re: Android App for BM
Nice! Good of him to make it. I'll be getting this as soon as my Droid comes back from the shop. I've been waiting for a scanning feature for a while. :) Any clues what the stars are for?

re: International mooches now 3 points
Perhaps this is another point to support regional/continental mooching? (obviously another ball game entirely for AU) In this case, 2 points for moochee from moocher (no inflation) within region? Does anyone think this might help Peru, the Philippines, et c.?

re: International mooches now 3 points
@ CRIMSON-TIDE Oh, I agree, that will be an issue. I actually hadn't realized it, but that will /look/ like a burst of activity, but perhaps it can be localized? And I mean, John may be too busy to answer, but he and admins do read most things on this site, especially blog comments. Someone invloved with TPTB knows... Also, I would assume unfinished mooches are not listed the same in statistics? Do we have someone interested in doing stastics about Bookmooch reading still or did we lose them. (I love the fact that someone introduced TPTB as a way to speak of...
Cult TV FTW!)

re: International mooches now 3 points
Vicki, do you take part in the Angel Network at all? Lots of people are willing to ship overseas after mooching within their country. And maybe for Canadians we can do the silly thing and mooch out of Canada and then ship back into Canada? :B

re: International mooches now 3 points
Anyone remember how John said he /might/ change this again if it was too much of a problem? I doubt he will, but if, as you say Heather, this dramatically introduces a problem to the catalogue, we will be hearing and discussing a new change to be introduced. At the moment, as I believe I've said before, this change has actually made me more willing to send books I was 'hoarding' before. I may be spending a dollar more, per point per ratio per whatever, than if I bought it used, but I like not having to use my credit card online. I also come across books I never would have seen on here. When moochers offer a two for one deal? I feel obligated to check it out, and ultimately mooch.

re: International mooches now 3 points
Thank you John for giving us the heads up 3 months ago--to be honest I forgot, but it doesn't make much difference to me. Everyone else, bemoaning Americans who don't send overseas. I've recently redone my entire shipping methods. Unless the book will cost more then 4 times the price of shipping domestically, I ship overseas. The way I see it, if it costs the price of shipping 3 books, thats fair! If not everyone thinks so... that's too bad. I'm hoping my liberality will encourage others to be more open, as I was encouraged. I'll still be mooching from overseas, even at 3 points.

re: Youtube: Rachael Ray TV covers BM
I was a little surpised at the 2 books recieved comment, but I guess I understand. You can mooch two books for every one you send out, at most. Although conscience makes me want that perfect 1 for 1 ratio. Anything less makes me feel a little uncomfortable too.... Whoa, in anycase: Whoo! Thanks Rachel Ray and Jen J!
