Having been offline for a while, I had a look at the forum with "unbiased eyes" and found some marked patterns in the contributions.

Here are some "typical" posts from various forum dwellers (nonrepresentative sample):

[JamieW]

Odd, this is what I see when I read some of those people posting:

Ian: "OMG I wish they would make a Culture Club Kharma Chameleon Transformer/Star Wars crossover toy."

Aviationwiz: "Hey, would you guys mind answering a useless question?"

MonteLDS: "blah blah blah [random english word] blah."

I'm not saying that's what they write, I'm saying that's what I see when I read it.

[Ian]

How can I try to piss people off today?

btw.. I heard Culture Club is doing the soundtrack for the Transformers movie.

[hoxlund]

haha was thinking same thing, just didn't want to say it, making fun of people isn't cool, emm kay?

[CDRecorder]

Which firmware version does it have? Have you updated to the latest version of Nero?

Hmm, that does sound like me...

Good post, MediumRare; I really enjoyed reading it.

[hoxlund]

well folks it won't be long before you'll see a 1,000 next to my name

[JamieW]

That would be crazy if Culture Club did.

I'm not trying to hurt feelings or piss people off. I'm just stating my opinion.

[dodecahedron]

BTW i haven't really used that How to enable DMA in Windows XP (with pictures) very much lately...

I'm not sure why, but when I read this originally I thought it said, "OMG I wish they would make a Culture Club Kharma Chameleon Transformer/Star Wars crossdresser toy."

You know, Culture Club...Boy George...dressing like a woman. Yeah, soooooooooooooooooo...

[MonteLDS]

You know, Culture Club...Boy George...dressing like a woman. Yeah, soooooooooooooooooo...

[JamieW]

How am I a troll? I post my opinion and sometimes joke around. None of this is trolling. I think you just want me to be a troll.

I love it! That was because of the packaging, though. The disks themselves were horrible (turned out to be 2 different lots).

G

[dodecahedron]

what !?
2 different kinds of discs in the same pack ???
that's worse even that the fiasco of the packaging!!!
what were the makes of the 2 kinds of discs?
were they both horrible?

No- not that bad. There were 2 groups of serial numbers. The "A" group was OK, the "B" group was rotten. The details are in the media compatibility thread

[dodecahedron]

but they were all CMC, and externally looking the same (except for the serial number A/B difference), right?
that is insidious!

I think it's quite normal to have media from more than one stamper in a package- pretty well all packages I've checked (not just CMCs) have samples from more than one stamper. The problem is really one of quality assurance- here one series was OK and those from a neighbouring stamper were wretched . The serial numbers were extremely similar, indicating that the media were manufactured at essentially the same time.

But this isn't really the place to discuss such serious matters.

Thanks for the laughs MediumRare!
