I dunno, it sounds like a good idea to me -- buy a (not-so-good) movie on DVD, and by getting fullscreen, you only have to watch 2/3rds of it!

Maybe that is why they only charge 2/3 of the price 

And why there are 50% more of them in the stores!

I guess at least me and Dragon+6 are doing our part to try to get them out of the stores. 

Seriously though ... I usually  DO  buy widescreen. I think this was a case when I just didn't look at it before I got home and had opened it when I noticed it.

You should go outside and stand in the rain as punishment!

To be more on topic (I won't mention the Fool Screen thing!)  ... Yes I was thrilled when they started this up. It has been like this for quite some time actually (months)... just keep in mind that you don't always get a reason... that they have some of the most common reasons programed in so that they can automatically tell you why you were declined. But they do not have nearly all of the reasons... so there still will be times when you won't get a reason at all. Also from what I understand... they are/will be adding new reasons as needed. But I personally doubt there will be a time when every reason is covered.

All they really need is a text entry option, so if none of the pre-programmed reasons work, Geri can type in a few words providing a hint about what to look for.

Of course, an extra minute or two on 50% (or whatever proportion aren't covered by the standard responses) of submissions would probably add up to a massive increase in her workload, so it's not something that I expect to happen.

Not trying to make work for Geri ... but if you look at a contribution and shoot it down ... how much longer would it REALLY take to give a quicky reason why it got shot down?

It would pay off in the long run. Would save a bunch of time on re-contributions to get them right ... instead of poking around in the dark. You may re-submit it a bunch of times and not even be touching on the area that got it declined in the first place.

Now ... Geri ... or whoever has to check it again ... only to decline it again ... thus the vicious circle. Would time REALLY be saved having to do this one submission over & over?

I think in the long run it actually might save them some workload.

Guess you have a valid point there. I forget this goes out all over the world.

It just was nice seeing why mine got declined as I was then able to correct that problem and resubmit it and hopefully it will make it this time. It saved me a lot of time as I probably would have not seen the issue they saw as a problem.

One question I did want to ask...when I look at the database to see what new submissions there are...am I seeing all there is? Or are there other databases out there that I do not see? I am thinking by your comment that there must be other databases out there that I as an American do not see...like German one...for example. Am I right in my assumption?

If the above statement is correct then I can see why it would be harder to accomplish. I was thinking on the lines that all the database gets in a week is what I see on my end...which in that case it WOULD be possible to get reasons for declines.

How does it work when they get say a German contribution? Who decifers that? Do they have someone on the board who speaks or at least reads German? Just curious about that.
