[LM_NET] HIT: An Abundance of Katherines

["Hibbard, Chris" <Chris.Hibbard@LAUREL.KYSCHOOLS.US>]

I was asked to share people's reasoning on An Abundance of Katherines.
Most felt that the sexual content was too much for middle school.
Several also felt the sexuality combined with the fact that the
characters have already graduated from high school made it too big a
stretch for inclusion in a middle school (6-8) collection.  Thanks again
for all responses!
