Hi,
I feel the need to comment on several of your “intents”, letting me do this
as a FYI to the audience here, in case people don’t know where many of them
can still be currently found.

Many/most/all of AS have been posted, by tpka Squee, in the usual t-i group,
and since they are 100% digital captures in Disney’s 720p-HD format, also
cross-posted to those relevant groups as well.
Squee usually caps the “standard” digital 480i versions as well, most likely
found only in the t-i group.
I believe he started posting this series right after it started airing around
the 1st of April 2009, so all posted eps should still be available on the
long–retention servers (Giganews, Astraweb, resellers, etc.). In my archive,
I currently have 1x01 thru 1x18 inclusive, all in 720p.
> Sara Jane Adventures 2 disks
A bunch of SJ are likely still available in the drwho group on the
long–retention servers. I thought they were going to post full ISO or
VIDEO_TS type DVD–dumps, too, probably PAL format.
But I have yet to see any hi-def postings of SJ, even tho BBC very likely air
them that way.
But then again many newer series mentioned here are on Bluray discs. ;)
> Sail Away 2 disks
I recently reposted my full set of this series, so they ought to be findable
on the long–retention servers.
I _still_ have this set, made from DiscoveryKids channel, 100% digital 480i
format.
And I am looking for official DVD sets if available.
> Ocean Girl Season 1 3 disks
The bad quality of most of OG postings got me to the point that I am in the
process of ordering full original official DVD sets of OG. Some months ago I
had begun communication with the official distributors in Oz concerning OG
and a bunch of other series originating from there (same distros as
Thunderstone btw). Will likely be PAL format.
> Lockie Leonard Commercial 4 disks
The full DVD–dumps in original PAL format might likely still available on the
long–retention servers.
LL ought to be available on hi-def Blurays, too, but not seen any posts in
that format AFAICT.
> Merlin Season 1 3 disks
I have been capping the recent OTA NBC-HD 1080i versions of M.
It is available on hi-def Blurays, but I have not seen posts of them.

You better leave this one alone!!!! >:-|
I myself am in the midst of posting best–quality available lossless mpg+ac3
dumps straight from the official DVD–set in PAL format (there is no official
NTSC version, only my previous caps from “WAM!” channel). I already got 1x01
thru 1x03 posted within the past few weeks, along with 300dpi scans of the
discs and artwork etc., so you _can_ still find them even on lousy servers.
Personal notes here.
Look, I am already angry/mad at people like VanillaMooce stealing the
postings I have made, turning them into low–quality xvid versions, then
posting them right up alongside my posts. This got me so boiling mad, that I
put up a post into the t-i group asking for coaching, because I am already at
the point of abstaining posts of the rest of the series.
I want the producers to publish the rest of the series (we only have 26-eps,
there are 26 more not on official DVD yet), and I do not want people hogging
cruddy xvid versions in lieu of buying the official DVDs — very important.
AFAIAC, I have Reasons For Doing Things This Way.™
Nothing stops you converting stuff and using it, but do not post it as your
own work. Let people fetch the original postings and do whatever they want
with it as well.
Same thing for all others of my postings during the years: post the
_original_ versions, not some converted junk version.
This means you _ought_ to keep the original nfo files and other related items
for proper attributions, too, as well.
So you(–all) must work _with_ me, please, on this.
Or I _will_ stop posting … _again_ ….
Sorry for becoming sour about this, but I must stand my ground on my posts.
Thank you.
(dead–serious, no smiley for this post)
