Time to post really isn't much of an issue anymore. I sometimes
forget how it used to be. (Though it's really the d/l speeds that are
incredible-- 20 min for a dvd5) -- Now the time factor is related
more to creating the post. I really do need to get myself onto
building a new computer to make things like creating pars quicker. I
just have to start making all those decisions on which parts to use.
I guess you mean no one besides me -- re Veronique -- but we probably
should be having this discussion on the criterion group, to see if
anyone else there has a problem with incompletes for the first disk of
the post.
But there is the chance Skata might end up posting it eventually on
dvd.movies. You two seem to be duplicating some of each others' posts
lately:).
