Thanks Dan. I don't believe that I made accusations about anything. I just
said that it is taking a long time to make the corrections. I realize that
there are volunteers and I would be willing to volunteer. I do not think that
it takes more time to correct than what it takes me to figure out the correct
inventory. Do you not agree that the inventories have a major problem? Perhaps
I expect too much, I was just commenting on the time it takes, which is a fact.
I come from 24 years in the military and then I managed a corporation for the
next 14 years. I just took it very seriously when mistakes were made and
corrected everything that I or one of my soldiers or workers did as quickly as I
could. Not only am I sending you corrections (and it takes a lot of time to
figure things out starting from an incorrect inventory), I am sending in tons of
sets of pictures, sets not listed, many part pictures that you are missing and
sticker sheets that are not listed. All this does take a bit of time and I just
told people that it is taking a rather long time. That is better than letting
them think that the inventories are correct. The pictures of sets get posted
quickly, the parts pictures so-so and the corrections slowly. I made only a
partial list of sets with incorrect inventory which users should know about. I
didn't say anything nasty just stated the state of what is happening. Do you
not agree that it is important that people know that these inventories are
wrong?
I really do not want to get into a long drawn out he said she said thing. I
will just post what I find, send the corrections to you and let what happens
with them happen. I will make no editorial comments that may be construed as
"not nice." It seems that a lot of people here are more concerned about how
something is said rather than what is said. I noticed that on the back and
forth comments about Brickfest and their profit if there is any.
