[LM_NET] Readlikes site problem

[Alma McDermott <Sunshinealma@AOL.COM>]

I've received several responses to my information about the  
whatshouldireadnext.com site having some inappropriate books about sex-type  titles 
mixed in 
with legitimate titles.  

The site allows anyone to enter titles. All they have to do is enter their  
e-mail address. My guess is that somebody is doing a hacker job by ruining 
lists  of good titles by entering inappropriate titles.
 
I am writing the founders of the site (_contact@thoughtplay.com_ 
(mailto:contact@thoughtplay.com) ) to let them  know of the problem and ask them if 
there's a way to better monitor the  contents. Perhaps it would help if more of you 
wrote with the issues  that you saw.
 
Thanks,
Alma
