Outside of yourself, I have seen no indication that anyone else has a clue, which is the norm. And i have said this before too. Not agreeing with me is not something I worry about, not getting it IS.

I have seen no indication that anyone else has a clue Oh, please! Yes, you and Rifter repeatedly claimed to be software and database specialists. Now, I have seen a lot of useful add-ons (plugins, skins, external tools) developed by people around here, who therefore could make such a claim with some credibility, but yours is just ridiculous.

Sorry, for not ignoring you. Whenever I read that I feel compelled to bring up my Oracle certifications...but then I remember being a database professional wasn't a requirement for owning the software.  |

Sorry, for not ignoring you. That's a lie. I never claimed to be a specialist. I said I've had a fair amount of experience at, and been paid for, designing and implementing database programs. Skip has a lot more than I do. The point being made, however, was that we understand the concepts behind designing a database. I have a data processing degree, a large part of which study covered the design, implementation, and use of databases. I made my living for 20+ years in the computer and data processing arena. I think all of that gives me more than passing credibility. You could make use of that experience, or blow it off as you have been doing, but it won't change the facts. | | | John

Other people just demonstrate their knowledge and experience by sensible, well thought out arguments. What a crock! All I've ever tried to do was argue for the use of good, sound, proven database design and maintenance instead of letting my ego run away with me and make suggestions that are not in the best interest of either good data management, or ease of programming and implementation. | | | John

Without linking, what is the data for? I would think that someone with "experience" would understand that a pile of data without any good way to cross-reference it is a waste of time and disk space.  pdf | | | Paul Francis

Well, if even you admit Skip has more experience than you, that just shows that neither of you have any. Come on, Skip still doesn't completely understand the use of common name Ken has designed in the db, a very simple key field designed to link actors together with the movies they are in. I'm mean look at the first couple of threads that talked about common name, and you get an idea of how 'deep' his knowledge truely goes. | | | The Other DVD Forum

| | Posted: | | | | I've reviewed this thread looking for whichever reasons were given in support of adding this disc dividers into the cast. There really haven't been any reasons to include them.  Skip (who admits he may be supporting a view that isn't his own) says we can't be against the dividers on the basis that they're redundant because otherwise we'd have to revisit the rules for the edition field. Rifter, who says he is against dividers above the child profile level, has said these are needed to sort out the shambles of extra data being forced upon master profiles. But he's against dividers for master profiles. That's all I could see in the thread. I asked Rifter if, since these dividers are being added to miniseries profiles of 3-6 episodes in length, if he adds these dividers to disc profiles of similar length in his collection. No response to that. I would still like to know why anyone who has voted for these dividers feels they are a good thing. If we're to have them, they need to be in every episodic profile. So there needs to be a good justification presented rather than just that we dont' get it. | | | ...James
