»Books, I think this fits with H&F.

Fell pretty flat, BBR has a very wide forum base and for some strange reason I thought Health & Fitness would be the right place...

I don't think the reading camp is very large, except in short forum responses. Would have liked a 'Book' forum, but as mentioned, don't think the crew around here would support it or go for it and evidently the first attempt was a rather dismal failure, of course people may not belong nor visited where it was ;)

Perhaps that's why folks know so little of their own historical accounts, in any given country and why many will repeat the same errors ~Ok, so that was a 'Partial' steal from an old saying.LOL]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20547389 Tue, 27 May 2008 17:30:43 EDT Re: Book Forum Request http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20354248 ghostpainter : Object....We want DSL to thrive not shrivel.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20354248 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 11:42:24 EDT Re: Book Forum Request http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20299894 Pentangle : *sign*]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20299894 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:28:41 EDT Re: Book Forum Request http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20299126 Kylemaul : *Sign*

Although I will agree that a book forum is not computer/broadband related, DSLR is more of a social outlet for many, and there are MANY non-broadband related forums already, so that is a LOUSY reason to object to it (IN MY OPINION).

I personally LOVE to read, (although OPRAH'S choices ain't mine), and have noticed that it seems to be a dying art these days. IMHO, anything that might encourage others to pick up a book is GREAT by me!

I think this website should remain computer related. Requests for silly things like book forums do not belong on this website.
