( I was one of them... so there). I just think of the ones that get general fiction shelving as our ambassadors to the world. Or alternatively, the soft-sell drug pusher who gives you a sample to get you hooked, and then makes you pay for the next, and the next, until one day you're typing a response to a blog article about shelving sci-fi books. . .

If you really wanna whine, grab a bunch of bookmarks and shove 'em in, but don't cost the bookstores (and thus, eventually, the customers) money and man-hours... besides, it's kind of a tempest in a teapot, isn't it? Now, not having sci-fi separate from fantasy, that's an issue I can sink my teeth into... lol I completely agree.
