Had a busy day, but I am in for the rest of the evening. Whew! I walked over to the library to see how the Teen event was doing. I arrived late, but I could see that it was going wonderfully well. Later the Chair suggested that we talk further concerning upcoming events, etc. What better place than Forno's patio to meet on such a lovely day. We had sangria. Yum. As always, Forno's was busy, when I walked out of the ladies room a party of nine was coming in. I love the excitement and ambiance of the places down neck.
When I signed on to check my messages I saw three requests to join Romance Noire Book Club. I approved one and rejected the remaining two requests. Sometimes I do feel like such a "B" when doing this, sometimes not; it would be great if all of the requests were legitimate. Although it is not necessary, when requesting to join, most people give a reason for wanting to do so. Here are the two that were rejected:

What?? Am I stupid?
I have been doing this for so long that I can spot SPAMMERS from far away. I am never sure if I am just annoyed or really insulted when people use ploys like this to get into the group to harvest e-addresses or post porn. Would we even want someone in our group who wrote the nonsense sentences above? I think that's what gets my knickers in a twist. Are they not reading the group profile "a writing group." They are not even clever enough to sneak under the wire. I am sure they are the same people (or person) who posted in another site. Lots of bad stuff with a URL like "spurmbanktrust". Ya gotta hate um.
O. K. Van--not important, not important. Your group, your rules. They can't get in unless you let them in. You are right Mr. Bloggie. I will just finish what I need to do, then take five for tea and watch my Brit coms at 8p.
