The newsgroups I may do, not 100% sure yet, I still read here that some just do not get it, or will not try it, or just don't understand how to use it, hell or maybe all the above, so learn it, this may be the way I go, I am leaning more towards this method.

DISCLAIMER: I only just discovered this thread. And I've read a few pages in fascination.

What brought me was the posting of the V3 DVDs on a.b.sw.

I understand that the quote above concerns only the Blu-ray discs, but a few minutes ago was the first time I'd ever heard about the DVDs either. So I ask only in curiosity...

dark_jedi, is it you who's posting the DVD versions? Not that it matters, I suppose, but I want to tell you that I'll be downloading them. Wasn't at all sure (there are a LOT of Star Wars edits and preservations!) but the opinions here make it seem more than justified.

Thank you for your good work -- some of which I've seen before, and more of which I'll soon be downloading.

(And I will say these about the newsgroups: they offer wide propagation and (with a higher-level provider) a sense of permanence. Both good things.)

NO it is not, and I have NO idea who is, and with a dumb post name like "Hey it's me" I have no way of telling, but I thought people gave each other the heads up when re posting others work in other areas, not that I mind at all, but a courtesy PM or something is usually pretty nice, I also see someone has now compressed the hell out of the FULL DVD's and is posting them at Spleen, again no PM or anything, and my God those have to look like shit! that is way to much to compress LOL.

I guess I am just going to have to get over how much different this Community is now, compared to the way it used to be, it is way different now, and I will stop my thoughts on this right there.

So NO, it is not me on the newsgroups, and it is not me at Spleen, and I guess courtesy PM's are now out of the question, OH well.
