I attempted a funny post about this, but SERIOUSLY: we all owe Scott Burns a debt of gratitude for taking the responsibility for MOPO. I think it is Scott who has engendered the list with a sense of respect for the subject and the members who are on it. While we get a little rowdy at times, there is little of the backbiting and hostility that has sometimes been apparent on other lists.
Thank you, Scott, for keeping MOPO. It's a great gig where we can all talk to each other. Many Happy Returns, Kirby Kirby McDaniel MovieArt Original Film Posters P.O.
