		<description>Marlana @159: Original post was April 12, four weeks ago -- if Amazon *hadn&#039;t* fixed it by now you&#039;d be seeing a lot more steam coming out of people&#039;s ears.</description>

		<description>I suppose I should read all the posts first, but I do have a question to what is most likely a discussion gone cold:  Am I looking at the Amazon listings incorrectly?  I&#039;m finding books about gays and lesbians listed.  Or am I just way late in this discussion and Amazon &quot;fixed&quot; it?</description>
