Most popular opinions/authors lists

Question for all of you wise ones:

I know that the Most popular opinions and Most Popular Authors lists are not updated frequently--at least, I've heard grumbling about that, though I don't really use them so I don't know how rarely they are changed.

My question is (sorry if everyone else already knows this), why is Books not included? All the rest of the big Arts and Entertainment categories (i.e., Movies and Music) are included. Why not books? I mean, come on, they even included the *Newspapers* category. Is this just another way Epinions is telling us they don't care about books?

It is. It's mistakenly filed under Beauty.

And the fact that it’s been there mistakenly for several months would indeed seem to be just another way Epinions is telling us they don't care about books.

And didn't they say at the last chat that they would be updating the lists "in the next week or so?" It looks bad when the top of the page says "Lists are updated monthly. Last updated 5/14." Or not. Oh well, I'm sure they'll get to it "SOON."

Look, if Epinions can't even properly place their MPOs/MPRs in the proper categories, why are we expected to do the same with our reviews?

That does it.

From now on, everything I write regardless of topic gets posted under "St Ives Collagen Elastin Essential Moisturizer".

Hmm Sordid, there is one problem with your plan.

You can only post one review in that topic. Does that mean we are to only expect one more review from you ever?

Sounds like discrimination to me. Maybe you should read/write on books regarding beauty, or is that write about beautiful books? Are we on the same page? Oh, never mind.
