Sorry Keith.  You've heard the expression "No good deed goes unpunished."

I don't see anything wrong with reporting publicly accessible information
available to anyone on the Internet.  It seems to me that the worst that
will happen is that a few WSFAns will be bored if someone's LJ doesn't
relate to sf/fantasy/other interests.

Next topic please.
