So far as I can see, most (quite possibly all) the V Disc images were added here by one individual. Either it's the same person adding to Discogs or if not, then that 78cat user's got good reason to complain.

...Fellow music enthusiasts and collectors.

I don't feel the "us and them" of it myself.

I rather think Discogs and this site complement each other well, with Discogs a useful directory style site, and this much richer environment here for greater depth.

I worry that people think Discogs, by virtue of it's presentation, is to be regarded as definitive... what I have learned since joining here is that there are no real comprehensive "Experts", with new discoveries to be made regarding even those artists and their releases which most previously thought had been gotten to the bottom of.

I can understand people being a bit miffed with their work being purloined, but as I myself have greatly benefited from the work of others, I don't mind in the least if others benefit from mine... just a shame if they can't be a little more honest about what they do with it - such is life.

But on a less eloquent note:

Don't let the fuckrs pit us all against each other, and make us think that only a couple of people are representative of the entire user base of a site.

Us is Them... and Them is Us.

Power To The People!!!!

'Enemies' sounds a bit extreme. Rivals, maybe.
