I have to back the "Judge = unnecessary violence" opinion because it looks like just talking about their music makes people fight.

Nerds have the craziest, most insane sex so that dude is probably boning on the reg in that wall-to-wall OCD collector's palace.

Would you waltz into the library of congress or the Antiques Road Show: Vinyl Edition with seam splits on your generic sleeves?  Not if you wanted to walk out of there with an official gold-foil stamped certificate of Mint Condition authenticity.  This is the kind of quality assurance we should demand from a four-employee screamo label in North Carolina.
 
But if they send us a second copy that is in slightly better shape so that we can sell the first one on Discogs and make our money back, we are totally cool with that too.

Instead of getting a U-Turn, I would just wait and save some money until you can upgrade to having all your favorite bands perform live in your living room on demand.

I got three #1s and a #9714.

No mention of only handling/listening to records in a sterile laboratory setting?  Nothing about surfactants?  How can they expect any beginner to benefit from their article?

Travis, is it true there was a bidding war between Hot Topic and Mondo for the rights to the Robin Hood: Men in Tights Soundtrack earlier this year? I heard that HT offered to release 7 of the 15 tracks on a picture disc and Mondo offered to release all 15 tracks in a beautiful gatefold package with original art by Mike Hond but that a third party ended up winning the rights because they offered to re-record the entire soundtrack with their non-musician friends and include a free 7" of Gary Alwes sound clips from the first Sew movie.

Is this his new record label or does it belong to the dad of that one kid who posted here on page 4 and they just share it?

What if your conscience is telling you to rush into this Whirr thread and draw attention to yourself by starting a side meta-conversation about the hypocrisy of boycotting Whirr in an aggressive, straw-man-filled rant?

Did he sign a non-resale agreement?

Dude, Travis has been super fast at repressing copies of this.

You gotta decide whether you want to spend the rest of your life worrying over every possible defect a record can incur from production to retail to the post man to your front door OR whether you want to enjoy collecting and save your mental energy for listening to the music (or some happy medium in between).  
 
I tend to side with customers more often than not but I do think some people use record collecting as a therapeutic means of exerting control over a pretty uncontrollable reality.  It can feel soothing to obsess over meaningless stuff like that phantom pop that you might sorta hear if you put your ear up close to the speaker and play that same intro 24 times or that corner bend that is visible when you put it under that one table lamp in the hallway.  It can also make you feel like you are in control when you rant to customer support and on message boards about minor defects like seam splits or corner dings and how UNACCEPTABLE they are.
