Why not now? Seriously - and as i said i can certainly understand someone not wanting to see this - but how long should one wait? What is the appropriate amount of time? I don't know. I would think 20 years...maybe more. It's exploitation to me too...what other reason could there be to make this at this time? I find it interesting, too, that so many people who haven't seen the movie consider it to be exploitative; but just about everyone who has seen it - including the families of the victims - don't. Out of curiousity Ray, what was the motivation behind making this film at this time?

Have a great one, Joe!!!

....bumping this thread up, because it's been over a year since anyone's posted to it.

The search function isn't working for me. Is this just me, or a problem since the crash? edit - working now, I think...never mind...

At first I thought Bruce was the guy in the back staring at the girl in the front. Then I realized that the girl is actually a guy, and the guy in the back went on to become the bass player from Nirvana.

Wow!! There are some great shows coming up! I wish I lived a bit closer to NYC!

What is your email address? Also, I have someone else's private messages stored in my private message area. Did I fix it? His name and member info just disappeared from his post above!

Have a good one Paul!!!!

Epistrophy looks like he/she re-signed up yesterday, member 1451. Are his old posts going to be added to his new account, or are you trying to tie his old posts back to his old account? This is confusing to me. edit - never mind. I think I understand...

Here's one...

I lost 1700 or so posts!! And I have a terrible avatar...what was I thinking???

Thanks Brownie & Mark - I'm suspicious too, and won't be bidding. Alot of their autographs look new and fresh and very clear (not so much the Armstrong etc listing), almost as if they're coming off some autograph forging assembly line somewhere. But the volume of business they seem to do and their high approval rating kind of threw me.

Has anybody purchased any items from this seller before? They seem to deal exclusively in autographed LP covers. They do a serious volume of business apparently, and have a high (99%+) feedback rating. I just wonder if the autographs are all authentic. Alot of them seem to be from similar sharpie markers, in various colors. But the actual autographs that I've looked at seem to look like the real deal. Here's one with Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughn, Max Roach, Benny Goodman, Earl Hines. It's at $152, with about 4 days to go. I'm curious because alot of these don't seem to get any bids, but others get some bidding wars.

Paging Jim, paging Jim!

I don't think Ginobili's was intentional, whereas Artest was (according to the league).

bump... Pat now has a thread over on AAJ where he's answering questions. Kinda cool! I still need to pick up his latest, the Wes tribute.

I don't mean to turn this into a thread about the Battle of Verdun, according to the Douaumont Ossuary's website, 26,000,000 bombs (artillery shells) were dropped at Verdun alone ("6 bombs per square meter"). That's staggering to consider! So your figure of billions is likely close to being accurate. We now return you to Weizen's hanging chads.....

I haven't pursued this, only because it seems easier (and more fun) to trade right here on this board, and not have to pay a middleman for that pleasure...

Brownie - Yes, it was expressly forbidden to remove anything from the sites. However, we ran into at least 30 other groups (easily) of people wandering through the woods doing the same, while we were there. I can only imagine how much was taken by souvenir hunters over the years. We also ran across 4-5 large artillery shells that appeared to be intact, and tread very carefully around those. As far as bringing it home, it was relatively easy to drive across the border back into Germany, where I lived, at the time. Not as easy as today, since you still had to stop at the border crossing and show passports. The items were packaged in with the rest of my belongings (furniture, clothing, personal items, etc) in a large shipment from Germany to Texas in 1983 when I returned to attend college, and not hand-carried. I'm not sure I would attempt any of this at my age now, due to respect for history, the danger of the actual hunting around, and so forth. But when you are 16-17 years old, it was quite an adventure!

I spent a weekend in Verdun, France in the early 80s with some buddies, and we took some metal detectors with us out into the trenches and woods. Dug up some WWI artifacts - a French cantine, one of those old wooden-handle styled hand grenades (the wood is long since gone, and the grenade itself has rusted through - no gunpowder), and a bullet or two from 1916. One of the other guys ended up with a rifle. This picture isn't mine, but shows a similar grenade body (the one on the left), a rifle, and some bullets. I believe most of the area has been completely cleared now, and what hasn't been cleared is probably much better secured from people wanting keepsakes.

I won't understand why anyone in the U.S. wouldn't buy it from yourmusic.com. For your $70, you could get the Cellar Door box plus 6 other discs, no catches or commitments. It's a no-brainer.
