Instead of accepting my help you all get defensive.

Maybe that’s because you appear to get all attackive?
Please consider, John, how you are coming across here. Yes, you are
attempting to help with the Peeron inventories, I grok that, but the way you
are doing so appears to be fairly aggressive.
Yes, it’s annoying if what you perceive as valuable work is being apparently
ignored (or deferred) by others, but remember, sometimes being nice about it
can help. While making angry noises might make you feel better for a while,
and might even spur some short term action, in the long run it’s not going to
make you many friends, or make this community a warmer place to be.
We are a community of fans, we each have different interests, abilities and
skillsets, sometimes that overlap, sometimes there are gaps. I urge you to
take time to consider exactly what you’re hoping to achieve - is it a more
accurate (and as Martin’s post points out, your corrections aren’t
necessarily always correct) at all costs? Or is it a better resource for the
community? If it’s the latter, then you have to ensure that the community
does not suffer at the expense of the resource.
I hope you’ll take my comments on board, John. I am not asking you to stop
working on the inventory corrections, or send less in or anything, I’m just
asking you to consider what is the best way to go about achieving what you
want.
Cheers

Richie, I am somewhat agressive, but at some point in time it gets fustrating.
Getting down to why, is that had there been a problem here and there I would not
have said anything. But set after set has bad inventories. And then these
inventories are verified. How does that serve anyone? Is it better to have a
bad inventory than none at all? Peeron spends a lot of time putting more Duplo
parts pictures on and changing names and numbers for the parts pieces. I still
think that Peeron thinks bigger is better. What have they done to show that
this is not the case. One person took my email and was changing things, but I
am sure that I overwhelmed him. It seems that Dan and Jennifer response has
been; I lost the email or why are you telling us this we love to change the
inventories. Look at set 001, I told them over a year ago it was wrong and it
is still wrong. But they have time to put Duplo part pictures on. I am
probably one of the few people with the sets and time and desire to help them
correct their inventory problems. And then personally, I accepted their
inventories as correct for years buying off of ebay. Now all these sets are
suppect. I will have (which I am doing anyways) to check each set again against
the directions. I do not feel that it is not “nice” to tell people that the
inventories are incorrect and then tell them again that they are still incorrect
and have not been fixed when they had the means to fix it. I still say that
their site is the best source of parts pictures and have set up my whole data
base for spare parts based on Peeron. They have done something that was much
needed and is invaluable, but I guess I am just nasty because I question its
correctness and lack of corrections. John P
