No-one's getting damaged. I'm not emotionally hurt by Luca$h's attitudes. I don't agree with them and I say so. I enjoy the OOT as much as I like. I have two VHS copies of each movie, one for enjoyment and one for preservation. I'm prepared to last on DVD back-ups of my tapes before I'll buy this release. It amounts to more-or-less the same thing anyway. The gains in quality with the Sepember Discs are insufficient for me to want to buy them.

And I don't delude myself that Luca$h would be damaged by my approach either. I'll keep asking for a good product and I hope that, one day, it'll appear. I think it is also true that I'm not the only one willing to wait.

The "hook" I see is Luca$h's claims (well documented) that the OOT, effectively, does not exist any more and that all they could do was transfer the 1993 LaserDisc masters. This is a lie and I won't let him off with that excuse. If he openly said that he wasn't releasing the OOT because he didn't want to, I'd have more respect for him. But he won't because he knows that would alienate elements of the fan community. He wants to milk the cash-cow dry so he tries to keep us guessing. I don't agree with his attitudes. And I say so.
