Back on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of July 2011,
someone named no-no and I had a conversation,
which went like this:

Continuing this conversation the next day/night:

Which was followed by silence and/or ignorance on the part of Mr no-no
(most likely the latter).
But he did start posting several movies, starting with his collection
of "Saturday Morning Pictures v1", right after I posted my questions
intending to help direct him where to try ordering the title.
Later in the year, I had tried letting Mr no-no know that I had
acquired the CoFM discs. More ignorance. To this day IMO.
Except for a rude remark directed at someone else several hours ago.
The things I decide to do, to help people,
then be treated this way.
`sigh`
(but it is rather a blessing to be able to look-up historical texts
by using the usenet provider's long retentions <w>)
And people wonder why I decide to ignore them
by using my killfilters on all groups.
Mr no-no, welcome to my collection.
(there are ample indicators how to reach me using other methods)
If I end-up posting a duplicate title, in more widely available
groups, you-all now know many more reasons why.
