Mitch, that hyperlink thing is something Dr. Bob does. Maybe he has an idea about how to vote on this site rather than on Yahoo. It's nice of you not to care how the book is chosen, but participation hasn't been all that high, and including more people in the decision making might help that problem.

I'll read whatever they come up with-it really isn't important to me *how* it gets picked, or if others pick it. However, you bring up an interesting idea. I noticed that if you enclose a book title in quotes it becomes a blue hyper-link to Amazon. If there was a way to script a list of sorts that could be appended and could keep a running tally of votes... Something where you could "submit" a title to the list, and could change your vote, etc. I don't know if it could be set up or not?
