>News is circulating in the blog world that someone stole Jim West’s password and deleted his blog. This is a despicable act. All of us who blog and interact with Jim through our blogs express our appreciation for Jim’s work.

Jim is one of the few bibliobloggers who has been there from the beginning. Jim is a prolific writer, a blogger who writes on a variety of subjects. At times he disagrees with people and people disagree with him. However, disagreement among bloggers is not a reason for anyone to erase Jim’s blog.

Even though Jim took my blog from his blog roll, I kept his on mine because I have always appreciated his posts, even when I disagreed with some of his posts.

I would like to call on all bibliobloggers to write a note expressing support of Jim and post that note as a demonstration of our appreciation for Jim’s work.
