No argument, y'all are doing awesome work and quite frankly have
transformed the online bibliographic universe. I must admit I was a
bit confused why nobody from LibraryThing was at the OpenLibrary
meeting a few weeks ago...and of course my paranoid mind (I blame
working for the US Gov't) started making up scenarios ...

I'd love to see LibraryThing offering up machine readable metadata at
URIs ... If you can't tell I was trying to goad you into doing it :-)
