Thank you for the first reasonably constructive comment . I also completely agree, it will take a lot of time and could likely be a complete waste... And definitely, basically all the information is elsewhere, except for what I added in from my own personal experience (that was my own thought process behind the wiki). But, I figured, what the heck

I would vote, but I came up with truffle fries too. So, out of spite.

To be fair, there are a lot of horribly written entries. But, what I wrote or edited, at least, makes sense.

the whatty dutty?

It's more sell-able than you think

Sorry, sticking with Shaqogs

huh?

Okay.. you don't have to keep posting if you don't want to. Every now and then I decide to see if someone posted anything and lo and behold.. Ironically, the more you complain, the more traffic you're driving to the thread and the site.

I don't see anyone getting up in arms except for the people here.. saying it's "not collecting" because it's not the way you do it.

And that's perfectly rational. At the same time, people who treat them as collectibles aren't intentionally trying to make life for you difficult. They just enjoy them. Again, there are a lot of similarities and dissimilarities between what I'm seeing are two distinct types of collectors. Ironically, though, 'record collector' implies that records are collectible in the first place.

I don't think you know what self-righteous means

I think you were right about that.. Well first of all, just because a website has a few sale prices, that doesn't mean it's similar to Popsike. Records were pressed in the billions while original artwork is one of a kind.., so it's really comparing apples and oranges. That's the whole point I think I was trying to get across--that it would be a center for education and advice sharing as well as smaller details, if that's what people want to share. Discogs doesn't treat albums like collectibles, but more like mass produced merchandise (which is technically what they are). At the same time, though, it takes some of the skill out of record collecting. ...Though apparently that's not what people here are interested in. Why educate yourself when you can just look everything up in a catalog?

..this seems a little self-righteous to me
