This is fun. I’ve tended to classify people as Tiggers and Eeyores: haven’t added CR and Piglet to the mix, but that works. (Tiggers are the most fun to work with; Eeyores are the least fun. Now that you mention it, Piglets are probably the most common in Libraryland.) Roo is “I’ll try anything because I don’t know any better.” Kanga is probably best represented by Mel in “Unshelved”. “The world is nuts, but I can make it better.”
