Also, I'm not comfortable with the measuring-stick of who is using affiliate links and who isn't. I don't care IF people use affiliate links, but I don't see it as... a point of honor or morality if someone chooses not to.
I'm not saying that's what you mean by pointing out your threads aren't affiliate linked, but just to say that I"m not comfortable with this situation. Catlady calls it the "marginalizing" of the affiliate posters and I kind of agree. I'm just not at all comfortable with these lists of who does and doesn't use affiliate links and who does and doesn't deserve karma.
I give people karma if they post a book I like and want. Not because of whether or not they use an affiliate link.
