BookMooch Discussion : BookMooch open discussion, all topics ok

Duplicate ids
Can anyone tell me what happens if two people have the same id? I have found one case where I cannot put the correct id into the browse member box and find them, only a member who joined and never mooched with the same id, although I have found the member by going through the location list.
Will messages reach her or the dead account?
If no-one is certain, I'll contact admin.

Bookmooch journal e-journal
Today is John Buckman's birthday. I know many here are grateful to him for all the time and effort he puts into Bookmooch.
The bookmoochers who run the Bookmooch Journal Library voluntarily have been looking at a possible way of raising the revenue needed to run the journalling library - a Wordpress site with its own address and the two upgrade fees required annually. Also we would like to contribute to the running of Bookmooch without which the journalling arm would not exist.
The possibility of some journals being published was raised, but there are huge logistic problems in obtaining retrospective permission from all who made entries in existing journals, and also a reluctance to damage the freedom some feel to express things within the BM community that nevertheless they would not want to see published for general consumption.
So we decided to trial a journal designed for possible publication, and to collect the entries for it by email so that the necessary legal releases are in place when the entries are collected.
Our first publishable venture is to be called "BMJournal The wonders of Bookmooch" . It should include things bookmoochers particularly like about Bookmooch.
Our possible wording will be:
This is a bookmooch journal, which is being assembled by inviting entries from Bookmooch members by email.
The object is to produce a journal which can be printed and made available for sale.
Any proceeds would go to bookmooch towards running costs.
For this to work BEFORE adding your entry YOU must agree:
1)Anything (including, poems, words, and pictures) you offer as an entry for the journal
is your own work without any outstanding copyright issues.
2)You agree not to make any claims against bookmooch or it's owner.
3)You authorise publication of your work without claim for financial recompense.
{Because it will be assembled by email it will not be possible to get people to sign, but we could ask them to append a message such as:
1) I certify that my entry is my own work and no part of it is subject to copyright.
2) I agree to allow Bookmooch and any person it appoints to use my entry as they wish.
3) I authorise publication of my entry without financial claim by me.}
Any help with this wording, and any offers to participate in it (it would be not just for regular journallers to contribute to but all Bookmoochers) would be most gratefully received. Please contact me at bmjournals@gmail.com or reply to this message here.
Happy birthday John!
