i agree with you 100% percent on this, dave... those that cut and
paste volumes of material, AND in one LONG, single spaced, block
paragraph are just not thinking. i would wager that most are not
going to try and meander that much material, especially when
presented that way.
best.

Hey, Freeman:
There's absolutely nothing wrong with a concise paragraph giving
the context and significance of a film (I do it myself). The
keyword is "concise." It's the people who cut-and-paste whole pages
of text from imdb or wherever into every single listing (including
exhaustive cast lists and the life stories of everyone down to the
lowliest gaffer), that are annoying.
And as for being a curmudgeon, I like to think of it as a lifestyle
choice.

hmmm.
When adjectives are on occasion inserted in the headings, or extra
time is spent explaining why a director is significant, what make
a certain, sci-fi film unique over many of the others, why James
Whale counts, or Edgar Ulmer, or why a film is crime and not
noir, as a seller, I try and excite and educate new enthusiasts to
the fold with information, along with accurate descriptions of the
specific piece offered and listed in the proper category.
If we sellers only had to depend on crusty, tired, curmudgeons and
harpees of the hobby who only pay fleeced and bleached prices why
bother with Ebay. They are all on Mopo............
There I said it.
