re: Countries in need of Moochers
T, I see your point, especially concerning some of the people we both know who are in the list as inactives, and I do agree. I did make the list of all inactives, including those with only 1 book, but I noted that a lot of these have mostly hand-entered portuguese language books, which I'm not sure are really that problematic in terms of inactive inventory because there's not a lot of search for those (and I'm not sure you get notifications on hand-entered books). I think the suggestion about only trying to vacation accounts from those with more than one books and/or a history of ignoring mooches is a good idea, at least so far as it concerns countries where the inventories contain a lot of non-english books whose ISBNs aren't on the amazon database and so are probably hand-entered. I did mooch from a few of the portuguese inactive accounts because they had one book I would like to read (but wouldn't have mooched for 2-3 points internationally) and got two nice replies from a couple of moochers. I don't know, for every person you may have to vacation, finding someone who comes back to bookmooch would be a nice end result.
