Does hal have a rep for bad profiles?

Quite the opposite if you ask me! I consider him a very trusted and reliable source for updates. 

BTW, Rick I have to wonder why you felt the need to respond. I ignored bigdaddy's reference because it wasn't relevant to anything. And i chose not to mention the user's name for exactly the same reason. I was amused, but mistakes happen, just like dung. I was certain that with bigdaddy's explanation comes up for vote, the user would read and say whooops, I would, there is no need to make a public spectacle of it, even if you or I think he is usually reliable.

Don't feed the troll, Skip. I'm sure if you ignore Rick's negative-attention-seeking public spectacle of actually complimenting and vouching for the good quality of a user's updates that he'll stop.

     

Out of curiosity, Big Daddy, is this the movie you got? Is it is as great as its cast? Because I may take a swing by and pick it up if it's any good.

I would say not necessarily, Rick. But that's your choice.Or I might have PM'd him rather than making more of a spectacle of it than it needed to be. Just my opinion.

Color me  as well.  I was going to reply, with something similar to your reply, then noticed that you already had.  A question was asked, about the quality of a users contribution, and you answered.  I fail to see the problem here.  As I said, color me  .

I think it would entirely inappropriate to to respond that someone is a bad contributor.  But to compliment someone by saying they can be trusted... I don't get it either.

Still, I agree with James.  Maybe the best thing to do would be to just ignore Rick and hope he gets an attitude adjustment.  I've seen his bad side before and I feel confident he can be a jerk once more if he'd just put an honest effort into it.

Very well stated, mark

Skip

Yes, indeed, I do rick and your consistent overuse of it is insulting and snide. As Mark said i too have seen your bad side, in nearly EVERY post. Very seldom are you anything but just out and out NASTY with your sarcasm.

Unless I am misreading it, this was the sarcastic post.  Hard to tell because Mark is rarely sarcastic.

Oh man... you're killin me here. My guess is others who have read the thread (since James' excellent post) and see your replies are getting a chuckle too. Perhaps someone will PM you and explain it to you. 

I gotta go play with the beta now. You have fun. 

I need nothing you post explained, perhaps you need mine translated because they are over YOUR head. Yours are simply insulting and your behavior is consistently that of a j....no I won't say that a jerk.

The existing contribution is from Hal9g in 2007 and no action on it since (probably just brought over an old error profile from the old site). Not saying he did anything wrong, and if you're reading this hal please check your UPC especially.

What's interesting is that I had to add this UPC to my Wishlist today so that I could go see what everyone was talking about.

I do not own, and never have owned this DVD.  I couldn't stand this show when it was on TV.

If you will look at the contribution date, March 15, 2007....that was two days after this site began and I was doing "mass contributions" of my entire collection to help build the "new" database at Invelos.  I suspect that for some reason, this profile was in my "Wishlist" at that time and got contributed along with everything else.

I did not create it, and you will see that it was released in 2005, which means it was probably sitting in the Intervocative database for some time before the switch over to Invelos.

Perhaps someone can go back and see if they can figure out who contributed it at Intervocative.

But thanks to all for the kind words.  I do try to be diligent with my contributions, but as has been pointed out, everybody does make mistakes, including those who "assumed" that I created the original profile.
