Demodex 557 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I opened my set today. Very impressive.

Demodex 557 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Fortunately there was just damaged jewel cases for COS and POA. I had extras to replace them. Unfortunately the black plastic part of TSS is pretty much destroyed so I had to put those 3 discs in separate jewel cases. Miraculously none of the discs themselves were damaged, and that's the important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,696 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I didn't use to capitalize everything but I could never quite work out which 'conjunctions' should be capitalized and which not, like 'in', 'on', etc. I just ended up doing them all. Feels right to me. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 In general, you should capitalize the first word and last word, all nouns, all verbs (even short ones, like is), all adjectives, and all proper nouns. That means you should lowercase articles, conjunctions, and prepositions—however, some style guides say to capitalize conjunctions and prepositions that are longer than five letters. So you would generally not capitalize "on" but you would capitalize "about" or "underneath" even though all three are prepositions. Of course, your grammar teacher isn't going to grade your iPod playlist unless you are sharing your library with her, but don't expect us to not criticize. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 By the way, I rechecked my set for any damages. None, thank God. No broken teeth, no broken cases, no misaligned cover art, nothing. Not even scratches. But I did notice what some of you guys were talking about regarding different, more fragile cases. These cases do seem a bit more plasticky and easily broken (or easily scratched) than the regular ones. Oh well. It's not like I'm going to take this out every day... Oh, and one other thing. The CDs and the booklet are rather loose in my cardboard slipcase (is it just my set, or everybody's?). If you hold it the wrong way, everything will just slip out and crash on the floor. Guess that why it's called slipcase... 😂 Still, gotta be careful about that. 4 hours ago, Chewy said: So, no HP for Christmas, but go some other gems to listen to: So which one's the better score...?

But I seriously want to know what the hell is going on there in Burbank. Are they even seeing these messages from us? I get it about being swamped with orders, but they gotta know they’re dealing with really passionate fans here. It’s not fair to leave us twisting in the wind like this if they have seen these messages. How hard is it to write one line saying “we’ll send you a replacement disc in a couple weeks” or “your order hasn’t shipped because of XYZ”?? The lack of response makes me fear that they aren’t seeing these messages and as far as they’re concerned I already got my HP set. LLL, if you’re reading this, just please finally tell me why my order is still awaiting shipment. I don’t care if I have to wait if there’s a good reason—but tell me what that reason is.

But with no reply, I have no way of knowing if that was the problem or if it was something else. Either way, a quick reply from them would just reassure me that they saw my message and that the OOS DAD was just a coincidence to my entire order being somehow totally overlooked. And, yeah, now that they’re closed for the break, I guess I shouldn’t expect to hear from them for at least a week. I’ll just be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
