Krueger's response to Dave Weil is just another routine example of
what he fraudently considers an "audio post".

Note that Bruce Richman hereby claims that he can reliably read my mind.
Obviously, the man is delusional.

Note that it is filled
with invective, personal attacks, and character assassination.

Just taking the initiative. Based on past experience as I indicated in the
post, it's apparently impossible for David Weil to accept modern
technology.

Today, when I visited my video store, I asked for the movie JUDE, a little
known classic that got an IMDB 6.9. Unfortunately, it's only available on
VHS at that store. As Dave indicated, he has a considerable investment in
VHS archives, and can't currently replace them. Sometimes it's necessary to
place art above technology.

Yes, and actually a good portion of my archives is such things as live
performances on TV, cooking shows, music videos recorded off of places
like MTV, old episodes of things like the British version of Whose
Line Is It Anyway, SNL and Monty Python, and the like (some Inside the
Actor's Studios for instance). Some of these will *never* be
transcribed to digital because it would be a real waste of time and
space (like the cooking shows). Frankly, I'm pretty happy accessing
them on video tape and I figure I probably have until I'm about 65
before the oxide flakes off of the tapes.

Some of the more "important" stuff will eventually be transcribed. But
it's not stuff like the language classes and West Wing episodes that
I'm currently collecting (TWW is being released on DVD but the only
reason that I'm taping them now is that the later seasons won't be
available for several years yet). The language classes would only be
digitized to make room on the tapes for other things. and this is the
stuff that I had an immediate need for a VCR. If it were just the
language courses, I wouldn't need editing abilities. But I still
record certain programs and live performances and I need the editing
for that.

Arnold is just being his normal self.
