But, if there is nothing in that column, nobody can say that the credit isn't allowed. Ifsomeone wants to claim that the credit has to be listed in that column, to be included in the profile, we can never enter an OMB credit. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

The same would be true for non English credits and credit variants like "original screenplay" etc. |

I guess I am not the hard liner I thought I was because I see it a different way.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
