Got it, watched it, loved it.
I collect meteorites for their stories and the little specimen I picked up
accompanied by a full 53 minutes of video (including the moment it was
found), well, that's just the cat's pajamas.

Hello Darren, and list,
Really there is no offense taken. From a purely marketing stand point,
one never wants to price an item at a price that EVERONE would buy it,
because you know you are pricing it too cheap. :-) So my effort here was
not to try to sell YOU on buying one. Yet on the other hand, I didn't
want dozens of people to not order it because your argument did have a
ring of logic to it. I felt there was a little need to restate my
position.
Honestly, I think the extra publicity did help generate a couple more
sales, so in a worst case, it probably would have offset any damage it
might have caused by people deciding not to order it because of your
thread. Besides, good discourse on any subject (especially on marketing)
I feel is always healthy. And it gave Michael Blood a fine opportunity to
wax eloquent, and I am sure he feels better just being able to get that
load off his chest!
As for the quality becoming anywhere close to a professional documentary,
you don't have to save up your $20 waiting for the "Directors Cut" to come
out. If and when it would come out, trust me, you would be disappointed
in the cinematography. I don't think Steven Spielburg could take my raw
footage and make it good enough. Besides, even if he did, there would
still be what, maybe 35 people total who would be interested in buying a
copy on the topic?
I am just looking to get a Harvey Award NOMINATION out of this. I don't
think there is ANY chance I could actually win a Harvey. ;-)
