I am not voting for either set of changes because, frankly, I think both are correct and any vote I make would be based solely on personal preference.  What I am doing with my local version is make all the sets look the same.  And the current online versions are not "the same."  Some episode titles are in ALL CAPS format, others are in mixed case - some are numbered, others are not.  Some have original air dates included, others do not.

All said, I don't see what useful purpose the pingpong "Dueling Contributions" is serving - other than to try to force everyone to your way of doing things.  The Rules are not clear - There doesn't seem to be any prohibition against showing "fictitious" episode numbers (whether or not they start over with each new box set).  Does it matter to me if the first episode in volume 2 is numbered 1 or 16?  I don't know, since I don't know if the number has any correlation to the production order of the episodes or to the chronological air dates of the episodes.  I don't know if the air dates of the episodes means anything 50 odd years after the fact.  It just seems more useful to me to have the episodes in the "set" numbered and since there's not rule against it...

I see he did include Airdates, so it is the error of non-existent data that violates the Rules. And the Disc issue, as I said I disagree with him but would not argue over it.

Hal: What about the Rules do you not understand, BUD.

"Overviews should match the back of the DVD case exactly."

Do you see numbers on the backc case....I don't. You therefore are NOT following the Rules and you are inserting non-existent data, that goes against the Rule as written. You don't comprehend the meaning of the word EXACTLY.

If that's true, Hal then you don't want me to say what I am thinking.

You like to throw out fish anytime you disagree, you have your POV and I have mine you inflammatory ass.

How long are you going to permit this language to continue.  This is the second time in the last ten minutes!!!!!

This topic has nothing to do with Overviews or with ST:TNG and you are not going to continue to drag it in.  If you wish to discuss Overviews, start your own topic on it.

The current Rules are silent on whether to start episode numbering over for Volume 2 of a two volume season.

That is what this poll is about, and the vast majority have stated their preference to continue numbering from the last episode number of volume 1.

It's as simple as that!

Keep your red herrings to yourself, thank you!

Fine then I will put it this way, Hal. Since you choose not to liten and only wish to be insulting.

Note for Ken and Gerri;

Please take note recent Contributions mad by Hal regarding Episode numbering are in complete and total defiance of the Rules, such Contributions should be declined regardless of any vote outcome. I have tried to explain this to Hal and his response is to be inflammatory and insulting. Please decline any such Contributions made by Hal.

Because Skip said so! 

What arrogance!

No Hal, not because Skip says so. Because the RULES say so and you refuse to acknowledge it and persist in attempting to force your RULE-BREAKING Contributions into the database. I have repeatedly attempted to explain this for you, and even suggested to what you need to do and i will happily support it, but instead you want to insult, inflame and ignore the Rules.

This is nothing more than the a troll's opinion.

And when will you fix the lack of quotes to indicate "bolding" in your Perry Mason contributions as I've pointed out to you.
