Can you find me some coverage from the 1992 LA Riots?

If you do find any coverage from this event, you will have something that a lot of people are looking to trade for, including myself. You can even call it premium, if you like.

Sure, if I find it. I wouldn't call it premium though, those are the things you get in a cereal box.

NEWSREELS OF THE FIFTIES

Beginning during WWI and lasting through the 1950s, newsreels played an important role in dispensing information about major events. This is how America knew what the president looked like, witnessed celebrity weddings, and events around the world. This 2-DVD set features more than five hours of newsreels from the 1950s from the marriage of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer tying the knot in Monaco, Fidel Castro taking power in Cuba, the hula hoop craze sweeping the nation, an elephant that water skis, General Douglas MacArtur in Korea, Miss Universe contest at Long Beach, Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe vacationing in Japan, and Hawaii gets it's statehood and much, much more.

Make sure to check your Library
Obvious but most often ignore source

My library for example has

History of Riverview, Chicago in the 50's
History of Broadcasting

the 60's, the riots, the love, the music 3 dvd special

911- then and now a look back on all the events and how it changed our life

Ect.

They have vhs and tapes going as far back as the History of Howdy Doody, to a 90 minute documentary on the Challenger Crash from the 80's

Find a large library and hit their video department you would be surprised what they have sometimes.
Remember, a lot of libraries have schools nearby, with kids who need to do papers.

Straight from my trade list...

John F. Kennedy Assassination

Assassination Of President Kennedy - Live CBS coverage from November
22, 1963. Begins with that day's episode of "As the World Turns" that
is soon interrupted with the sad news from Dallas. Cronkite nearly
breaks down while telling viewers that Kennedy has died. Black and
white. 6 hours from CBS studio tapes. (5)

Assassination Of President Kennedy - Live NBC coverage from November
22, 1963. From the A&E re-broadcast in 1988. 4 and 1/2 hours of live
coverage, followed by a 1 hour 30 minute capsule of weekend coverage
including JFK's funeral. Black and white, with some portions in color.
(4.5)

Shooting Of Lee Harvey Oswald - Coverage from three networks:
CBS - live for 28 minutes. Black and white. From studio tapes.
NBC - live for 12 minutes. Black and white and timecoded. From
studio tapes.
WFAA (ABC) live for 5 minutes. Black and white. From the 1983
"Kennedy Tapes" re-broadcast. (2.5-3)

The Funeral Of John Kennedy: A Remembrance - NBC re-broadcast of
portions of the funeral coverage from November 25, 1963. Hosted by
Roger Mudd. 3 hours. (4)

Perfect Film - Allegedly rescued from a garbage bin, this is about 20
minutes of raw, unedited, black and white footage of television
reporters interviewing witnesses to the Malcolm X assassination. (4)

CBS Evening News: The Assassination Of Martin Luther King Jr. - Live
broadcast from April 4, 1968. Walter Cronkite reports on the civil
rights leader's death in Memphis, Tennessee. Also, reports on a
peaceful anti-Vietnam protest. Includes original broadcast
commercials. West coast feed. 30 minutes. (2.5)

Robert F. Kennedy Assassination

Assassination Of Robert F. Kennedy - Live ABC coverage from June 4-5,
1968. Begins around 2:58am est (11:58pm pst), roughly 18 minutes
before the shooting, with some election commentary, followed by
Kennedy's victory speech live at the Ambassador Hotel. It is very odd
and surreal to see the anchorman's reaction to the shooting, as they
were just about to sign off the air for the night when the news
arrived. The story literally unfolds on live television. Runs for
about 8 hours. There is an hour of coverage missing toward the end
(possibly due to the master tape running out), so this is actually 7
hours of coverage, but spans 8. From W-ABC original broadcast. (3.5)

Assassination Of Robert F. Kennedy - Live CBS coverage from June 5,
1968. Starts abruptly around 4:00am est (1:00am pst) about 40 minutes
after the shooting. Includes many eye-witness interviews, a replay of
the earlier shooting scene as captured by CBS cameras, and the Good
Samaritan Hospital press conference announcing the beginning of the
senator's surgery. This live portion lasts about 2 hours and 45
minutes. Then we get a 30-minute progress report surrounding the
following day's events, including the identification of Kennedy's
assassin, Sirhan Sirhan. This is followed by some footage of RFK's
funeral, and more news footage of the aftermath of the shooting lifted
from an A+E documentary about the assassination. In color with some
portions in black and white. Studio copy. 3 hours, 20 minutes total.
(3.5)

Assassination Of Robert F. Kennedy - Live CBS coverage from June 4-5,
1968. This version actually begins shortly after 11:00pm est (8:00pm
pst) with a brief 3 minute update on the California primary. The
coverage resumes at 11:30pm est (8:30pm pst) for an hour of primary
coverage with Walter Cronkite. Finally, the tape picks up again at
3:01am est (12:01am pst) with what appears to be a raw CBS satellite
feed of Kennedy's victory speech at the Ambassador Hotel in Los
Angeles. The view from the satellite feed continues through 3:34am est
(12:34am pst) and captures the moment the shots are fired around
3:16am est (12:16am pst), as well as the immediate reaction of the
audience and aftermath. The coverage resumes once again around 4:00am
est (1:00am pst) and matches the CBS coverage listed above. Also
included is a brief KTLA retrospective program which replays some of
the footage captured at the moment of the shooting, and satellite feed
outtakes from some pre and post 4:00am CBS coverage with Terry
Drinkwater and a KNXT TV anchorwoman. Studio copy. About 5 hours
total. (2.5-3)

Assassination Of Robert F. Kennedy - Live NBC coverage from June 5,
1968. Begins at 3:29am est (12:29am pst) about 13 minutes after the
shooting. From W-NBC original broadcast. About 100 minutes. In color.
(3.5)

Funeral Of Robert F. Kennedy - Live CBS coverage of the procession and
departure of the funeral train following the assassination days
earlier. Hosted by Walter Cronkite. Also, a brief report on the

Jr. Studio copy. 2 hours. (4 - Abrupt beginning and ending)

NO, noone here collects local news---

NO, noone here collects soap operas---

NO, noone here tapes the day time talk shows, or the late night chat shows, or nightline, or the CBS news, or GOOD MORNING AMERICA, or JUDGE JUDY or JERRY SPRINGER
or any of that stuff

WHY u ponder???

2 simple reasons

1. You NEVER see people post asking for this stuff-- AND EVEN on the off chance that SOMEONE, SOMEDAY wanted 1 episodes of any of that, or 1 local news broadcast--- it would be Just that--- a ONE TIME THING---- so taping all these things on the off chance that maybe, just maybe one person will ever want it is a monumental waste of time, energy and media

and

2. I have NEVER said to my wife--- "Hey Honey, Lets watch last Aprils local news with the rainy weather report--- OOHHH that was a good one!"

10-27-2006, 10:56 AM

ok i guess i see your point---
because someone asks for it IN OTHER AREAS of life, we should collect it?

has ANYONE on these boards EVER had anyone ask them for local news from 25 years ago??? anyone???? even if they asked you offline?? anyone? anyone?

i mean im a pretty old guy, and i can say that NEVER in my life has anyone ever asked me at all for it---- and i doubt they ever will

ive NEVER been asked at all-- the only news people ever want to see again are the huge stories in life

now if someone really wants it i guess to each his own, but most of us try to collect things that we will ACTUALLY WATCH, or ACTUALLY TRADE

You know how the condemmed prisoner is granted a request for a last meal, our boy would ask if he could substitute that for a pilot and 3 original commercials.

When is your Retirement From Trading Party? Sometime in 2007?

in case anyone missed it

:eyes2: :eyes2:
ONE PERSON has tried 2 TIMES NOW, to change this thread around and misdirect away from the issue--- the issue is NOT lamont or his trading or awards or not, and i wont go into this one on one personal silliness with any member when they do that, it serves no point at all, and usually leads to ugliness, fighting or hurt feelings (which im sure none of us want to happen)
:nonono:
this is how people (who are losing a discussion) try to get everyone off track from the point of the discussion and try to take it down to a personal level---
i do not see how asking me if i won a TRADER AWARD is a logical response to a discussion of news collecting, and i dont see how asking me when i plan to RETIRE FROM TRADING is a logical response either
:typing: :dance:
so i urge all people to discuss the thread issue, and not to get sidetracked with the silliness

Guess your phone is ringing off the hook for that one? Thought you only had junk but I now see you have the most desired stuff out there.

Delta pretzel commercial, and I must have spent years scouring and scouring and I couldn't find it, and just think right under my very nose.

Ok, this is preety annoying seeing this on page 3 or what ever. The first page is great, I asked a question if anyone had anything and people responded saying they did. That is what is suppose to happen when you make a thread like I did. I have gotten lots of responses and I hope to make a few trades now. Great advice was also given and I thank those who gave it, but the rest is dumb.

Now, justins5256 gave a nice list and I am about to email him. He listed many things. Solomon asked a simple question but of couse Harvey has to start things up, he was the one who did it this time.

You want local news? Last night in N.Y.C. there were 3 drive by shootings, 5 rapes, 9 break-ins, 17 drug arrests, 11 muggings, 19 assaults and 32 armed robberies. Do you want the news after midnight?

Got it all on one tape. Want to convert it?

Harvey

Not everyone trades locals, I don't really care for a city I never lived in, but there is no harm in asking. I am not intrested in your Westerns because I did not grow up with them. They mean nothing to me. Solomon grew up in Phillly so I am sure he would like to see the news from his youth. That makes sense to me. I am sure he thinks your westerns are dumb because they don't interest them.

That "Got it all on one tape. Want to convert it?" of couse was poking at his thread from a few days ago. Harvey always brings up **** and it gets annoying. 35 posts or so since I saw this thread in the morning and most are all crap from Harvey. Again he brought it up. He started this. Nothing wrong at all with asking a question.

Where does the westerns come from. ? No one mentioned it. Maybe my eyesight is bad but please point it out to me. Say what you want, feel what you want but don't make up things. Next tell me I spoke of chickens.

As far as local news, Solomon brings it up time and time and time again and evryone tells him that's not how we trade but it doesn't stop. Is it posisible that it gets annoying. As Joker said "get new material" but in two weeks we will hear the same stale story again about local news and who has it.

It's an example. I don't think that is hard to figure it out. I compared his want of news to your want of Westerns. You like Westerns don't you? You have mentioned it before, haven't you? You like them and collect them. Solomon likes local news and things with original commercials. He has mentioned that before. He collects them because he likes them. See the comparison?

How is that making things up. Your have list is full of westerns. You have mentioned the Lone Ranger and growing up with it tons of times. But I am making that up?

Everyone tells him that? There are a tons of traders here. Hundreds of them. Not everyone comes here everyday like some of us. I don't recall seeing justins5256 here before. Maybe he had local news and he didn't mention it. That is why you ask. You can make a "looking for this" thread at different times of the week and different people will respond depending who is on the website. I collect GI stuff, I have got my stuff from so many people, not all regulars though. If I bring up something more than once more people will see it. The more you advertise, the better chance you have of finding something. But I guess that is to hard for you to figure out these things aren't they?

I don't see why you had to respond in the first place. Take your own advice and ignore Solomons post. Don't like what you read, don't read it.

Sure I like westerns as many people do. There is a section on this site for westerns. Yahoo has hundreds of western fan clubs devoted to western shows. In fact many western shows have more then one club. You know any group devoted to local news? Do you know more then 2 people of this site who look for local news.

It's like the local church having a bible study class on friday night, The interested parties show up bible in hand, one shows up with a deck of cards and says "anyone for 5 card stud" He is politely told "this is not the place for cards, maybe another site or group can cater to your needs? Next week the same question and the question keeps coming up and up. Do you think the membership can wonder is this guy stupid, or just trying to be a wise ass?

How many times has Solomon asked about local news, his one time show with commercials, his only trading tapes etc.? Again and again he is told "no we don't do it that way here, maybe you can be satified elsewhere" but he still comes back and asks the same question. Solomon himself in his post on local news in response admits "not here", so why keep bringing it up. How many times , in how many ways must he be told local news, is not the way we go. I'm from N.Y. why would I have local news from Philly, and why would someone in Philly have local news from 10 years ago from San Diego.? It's illlogical and so no one makes any effort to collect same. But this won't end as Solomon will bring it up again and when he does you want hush, hush. Let me tell you now, it won't happen.

Gilligan Fanatic--- youre a good guy and i like u

BUT i will point out (u can go to the SEARCH mode and check and see)
tvresearcher has brought up LOCAL NEWS before, several times--- with the same results, he KNOWS UPFRONT that NOONE AT ALL trades or collects it, he has mentioned it before and suggested to newbies that they trade it

so when he YET AGAIN brings it up with lilhave (WHO he has been round and round and round on the topic with in the past) he ALLREADY KNOWS the answer--- he knows lilhave (and noone else) collects local news
he is only asking the question to take the thread off into a little back and forth

dont think he is as innocent as he wants to pretend to be
if this was the FIRST time he brought it up, or even the fifth time, i could buy it
but we all know how he feels, and we all know that noone else agrees? so why ask a question that he knows will cause commotion?

anyhow, if u check my list u will see a whole NEW SECTION that has lots of old stuff, and if u email me direct i can point u to some guys off the site with tons more

Guys, really, who gives a flying flip what other people trade and post requests for? We all have different tastes, likes, and dislikes. No one is better than anyone else for having a taste in westerns versus a taste in news coverage. You may THINK your collection is better than someone else's but, in the end, it's your opinion, nothing more. One trader's DVD collection is another trader's ideal set of coasters.

the "drama" comes from some people who just like to stir up commotions
there are those who will ask a question or make a post, NOT because they really are adding to the discussion, BUT because they know it will upset someone else, or because its an allready known answer and they just have nothing else to do EXCEPT cause drama

believe it or not, there are those who live for the drama

People do move you know, I said yesterday I lived in New York City, I also lived in Rome Italy. Just because I haven;t lived there in almost 20 years doesn;t mean I couldn't have stuff recorded from there. My dad was born in Pittsburgh, he still loves the area and he is almost 50, but he hasn't lived there since he was 17. I got him 70's Steelers stuff and what not about Pittsburgh and he was very pleased to relive his youth. You may think it is crazy he likes what he likes. I like Cream Cheese but I can't stand Cheese Cake. People like different things. I don't think people take notice as much as you think they do about his news. Not everyone reads every single thread either. You may do it, but I sure don't. They might have missed him asking it at one point.

I collect everything Gilligan's Island, I know you don't. Is there a Gilligan's Island stuff board? No, of course not. I use this board to find it. I might be the only one who goes looking for it, but I trade a lot of it to others.

You jump all over the place. Contra hearings is not local new but national. Solomon was talking local for the upteenth time. As far as your 35,000 comment, ONLY those interested in trading come here, not the entire membership as those not interested in the Jefferson's don't go to that section. Those who are in this section as a wide, wide, wide majority do not collect local news, and don't look to trade for it and have expressed that belief numerous, numerous times.

Can't understand why someone would to know the weather for July 6th, 1981. Does it make a difference if it was balmy, cloudy, rainy or whatever? I can't say it enough, people don't care. So on that date there was a break in at Joe's garage and 5 tires were stolen and the police report they have a lead on the supect who it turns out is the son of the head librarian. The annual fishing contest began today at St. Paul's lake and so far a two lb. catfish is the heaviest and Jim who owns the malt shoppe is going to give the winner a free ice cream sundae as a prize. Is this is what people collect? I like Lamont, does that mean I want to hear the local news from some small station in Randelman, N.C. during the rainy season of April, 1976. Why would anyone want it, if your not from Randelman.?

But still Solomon will bring it up.

Maybe I can end it this way. I should start a poll entitled where is yesterday's newspaper. The one you read for whatever reason, sports, editorial, variety, etc? If you live in a fishing community it was used to wrap fish. If you mailed out a big package of disks, you used it as stuffing in the box. Now take the news from your local paper two days ago, that you can't even find. some people buy a paper in the morning and throw it out in the evening.

Who has their timer set to record to the local news from their home town? Did anyone ever post on the site that they had the local newscasts for say Helena Montana, their home town for the fall of 1983 and who wants to trade for it? Does anyone ask does anyone have the local news from station kyoc in Deluth, Minnesota for January 1982. You save the news if Cousin Louie is on the show, showing the big turkey he raised, or maybe it shows your next door neighbor being cuffed and taken away and you hated his guts because his f ****dog kept you up all night but why would someone from 1000 miles away care?

In short yesterday's local news is yesterday's local news and not important anymore. I really wonder if al ocal station really saves the local broadcasts from 25 years ago.

If a local news story become national news that could be different but just another day in a small town, no different from the previous day and no different from the following day, I see no one having a desire for that.

Harvey with me it's not about the News, it's about the anchor. The WPVI News I watch Now, some of the same anchors are on there and I just was curious to see how they looked in 1981. And i was able to see that when a Trader from this board had a 1981 Philly news in his collection.

I can understand that. Any topic, any subject has a following. You wouldn't believe the types of clubs that are on Yahoo. You were curious about how a anchor from WPVI looked like in 1981. If someone was not from that region, not only would they have never heard of the anchor, they would have no interest. In public speaking they teach you "to know your audience and know your subject matter" The same talk is not given at the first Baptist revival meeting at the local church as one would give at the annual Fireman's convention in Boston.

I'm sure you have a strong desire to gain as much local news as you can but maybe this is not the best place to mine for it. One digging for diamonds goes to where diamonds might be. Isn't there groups in the Philly area that would be able to help you locate local news then going to a national site like this which is national in scope, not local and is much more catered to locating TV shows. I'm not sure but are there any news groups out there that are more tailored for your needs.?

Please read your post 17 in this thread where you ask, "do you collect local news". Again and for the last time why would anyone collect local news besides wanting to see what a anchor looked like in 1981.?

Why would someone collect Westerns?

There must be a thousand yahoo groups devoted to them. Ask them? And then look for the local news group. You just might have a problem.

Always amazed at your rapid fire wit. Only took 2 hours to come up with that one. Hope you don't mind if I steal it. Next time I differ with someone, say their comment is "the Jefferson's is a great show", I will come back and say "watching the Jefferson's is like getting a tooth pulled." Wonder if for effect I should add the lol.? I'm sure they will convulse with laughter as I am doing.

Thanks again for all the funny moments

This is the kind of logic that frustrates many readers---- when the topic is a thread about collecting OLD NEWS, "one person" interjects and asks " DO U COLLECT LOCAL NEWS?" when this "one Person" ALLREADY KNOWS the other party DOES NOT (as they have had the discussion before) and yet they ask again for no reason, and then when the discussion turns to debating whether anyone collects local news or not, then this "one person" trys to divert the topic to collecting westerns? why? no reason that I can ascertain

I WILL ASK THIS THOUGH, look at all the trade lists and sites out there, look at the ebay and ioffer sites--- u SURE DO see a lot of complete western series dont you??? and how many local news broadcasts of the 1980s do u see??

its not "trading related" at all sir, its just common sense

when u r in a discussion, what ADULTS do is Discuss the situation-- they do not insult the person IN PLACE of debating them

in this thread alone, u have chosen to make your little jabs at me like 6 times now, for no reason--- i have not made off comment jabs at you, ive only replied to the topic at hand, which was why noone collects local news (which is a question YOU started, not me, not lilhave), and yet your replies keep being off topic and meant to be jabs at me, redwhine, lilhave or anyone who disagrees with you

I'm not insulting you, I'm trying to learn from you

ok ill play along--- i'd never have gone into this, but since u asked...

if u want to learn
here are a few suggestions from your old uncle lamont

1. dont ask questions that you ALLREADY KNOW the answer to (such as WHAT, NO LOCAL NEWS?) when you have ALLREADY had the discussion with the person, and know upfront that they disagree with you --- that is just stirring the pot for no reason ---- sort of like going to a MADD meeting and hollering out "who wants a beer?"

2. when you are arguing/debating/discussing any topic, try to LOGICALLY and INTELLIGENTLY give your side of the discussion, this means having some sort of reason that the other party can understand--- if you do not back up your opinions with something more than I THINK SO BECAUSE I THINK SO, people will not respect the views or the person who posts them

3. if you are losing the discussion, do not change the subject as a diversion, do not decide to take pot shots at the poster and do not become unresponsive in your answers--- this only gives those who read the thread the impression that you have no idea what you are talking about

4. if the flow of the thread is not going well, do not ask others who are totally unrelated to the topic to back you up. it doesnt help matters if JOE X from the LIGHTNING THEATRE board suddenly comes to the PATTY DUKE SHOW Board for the 1st time ever to suddenly support a statement someone makes--- it comes off looking as if they are just supporting the PERSON and not the IDEA or STATEMENT, and looks desperate

5. try to be respectful and treat others as you would have them treat you, we all get caught up in the moment and make foolish choices at times, but do your best to be fair and admit if you screw up

OK is that enough for today class?

Solomon brought up for the upteenth time local news, which he will do again, and I said enough is enough but it's never enough for Solomon. Give him two weeks and the same sad tale will be raised again. Then you went ballistic.

Yes, I think westerns are great as if that had anything to with local news. Also like chocolate ice cream.

Maybe instead of jumping up and down and saying your bit on local news , you will see no one cares and ask Solomon to maybe cool it slightly and go elsewhere for his local interests.

Harvey is one strange person. He cares so much about what one person is looking for that he ruins my thread and makes it turn into 7 pages. I find that really odd that he pays attention to what everyone is looking for and takes notes about how many times they look for it. Unlike him I don't care what people want, unlike him I don't pay attention to how many times they said this, unlike him I don't bring up past things even know they were resolved, unlike him I am not a looney to spend all this time debating. This is my last one. They say never argue with a drunk, I now know the same thing goes for a weirdo.

Again if Harvey hadn't said that first dumb comment this thread would be on page 2 not page 7. He ruined my thread and he could have just ignored it like everyone else.

Don't get personal kid. I didn't call you wierdo and any names. Don't like what I said, say it, but don't get personal. Your learning bad habits from your crowd. If you got nothing to say, call names, that's the style. When you say resolved and ignore it like anyone else, I don't see overwelming support for your allegiance to Solomon. If he brings up local news again, I will comment, with or without your approval, boy.

I used the word ass after you told me the number 11 came out of my ass. Care to apologize for misquoting me? Of course not, nothing wrong in quoting someone incorrectly. It's perfectly acceptable in your crowd. Wierdo, back to calling names, so I guess I can call you a punk ass kid.

By the way to set you straight, Punk ass kid and Finger out of your ass was in a private pm in response to you privately calling me names. I used no such language on the site.

Misquote? "Out of Your Ass" is a phrase down here in Virginia. I think it could be everywhere. My mistake if it isn't known in NY, but I was just using a phrase. "Pulling it Out of Your Ass" means just guessing on a number. I didn't think you really countedit 11 times. If you didn't know the phrase my mistake, but you don't seem to know a lot of things. You don't know a comparison, you don't know simple phrases, and you don't know when to stop.

There is a difference Solomon. When people ask for certain sets they do it because they are sincere and truly want that item. I too may not desire or have any interest in that show but I repect their wishes. Again not everyone likes chocolate ice cream. But I, like many feel that much of what you post is not out of sincerity but just to stir the pot. You know you receive no support for your one item at a time on a vhs tape with original commercials. No one really trades that way but at every opportunity you keep raising the same thing with the same answers. The best definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. What are you expecting when you keep saying the same thing over and over and over? Take my word, I'm not the only one it annoys. Folks here have duplicastors or burners in their computer and look to get as complete a series as possible. Don't trade for vhs tapes, one episode at a time with commercials. Are you really expecting a favorable response?

go back and read and see WHO it is that asked

YOU DONT COLLECT LOCAL NEWS (post #17 or 18 i believe)

and then go to SEARCH, and search for past threads about that same thing---
TVRESEARCHER allready, repeat ALLREADY knew the answer to that question, and he allready knew how lilhave, lamont, t-greg, etc felt about it

that is what is known as BAITING someone, asking a question DESIGNED to stir up a spat (OR ill give him the benefit of the doubt--- MAYBE he forgot he had asked that several times in the past)

maybe SOMEONE collects that stuff-- BUT the active traders who take part in the day to day postings here do not, and it is widely known, so asking a question like that is NOT a legit question (maybe the 1st time it is, but not the umpteenth time)

had tvresearcher NOT asked that question (KNOWING IT WOULD CAUSE A RESPONSE) then none of the follow up comments would have ever followed

these are big stories that a lot of people are interested in

but noone will care about what JOE THE WEATHERMAN looked like when he was just 22
and noone will want that stuff in trade.....

well almost noone

All the ******** shows you have requested since you been here and have I ever made fun of you? I just said that's his thing. But the stuff you ask for is WACKO but everyone is entitled to request what they want. So Im going to contnue to ask for local news on this site because new mmbers come here all the time. So you and lilhave will just have to deal with it or just put me on your ignore list

If you are not looking for the complete set of Gidget you are not wanted here-lol See Sonny if have to look for complete sets of shows because you are in the running for the Award for the Trader who has the most complete sets. So you don't ask for complete sets because you want to watch them, it';s for the Total count of complete sets so you can have more than other traders

This board should be for anybody who is looking for anything to trade. If you don't have any or even if you think it's stupid then you should just ignore it. I frankly don't think looking for local news is stupid. Everybody has their own tastes. I just think some people like the drama and don't want it to end.

i was not making fun of anyone at all sir---- just pointing out that u have asked repeatedly and gotten the same reply over and over

and YES i do ask for some obscure stuff, But i dont ask for it over and over

Most People Understand that if you ask a question 13 times and get the same reply 13 times, that it serves no purpose to ask the 14th time was all i said

and yes u r free to post it a zillion more times if u want, but i think it would work out better for you if you found a group that actually deals with that stuff--- there ARE news trading groups out there im sure

a lot of people ask for a lot of things, everyone has different tastes and some people like stuff that others think is stupid, i dont think anyone called u any rude names or insulted you at all on the thread, they just pointed out that Local News is not something that it seems the board seems to trade in, and it doesn't seem that many of the new traders who join feel any differently than the older traders feel

BUT SMILE, im sure somewhere in America, The Jeffersons is airing right now!

I mean, all members are welcome on all boards, true- but when the same band of brothers appear from time to time---BUT ONLY TO Back up 1 person? it becomes transparent

No I don't trade and it doesn't matter if I do or not because that has no bearing on what's happened in this thread. and you know Lamont. I'm tired of your whining. I'm not getting into a discussion with you or Harvey. I reported the thread and anyone with a half a brain can see who started it.

Pass it on even though a moderator once got chastised and apoligized for what was said in PM's. P stands for private if your reading skills are stunted. Of course I can post what you called Solomon.

well i will admit when i am wrong--- i just re-read what u posted--- AND i misread it--- so i edited my comment out--- (about whacko and ********)
to be honest, i WAS IN FACT contacted last night by someone who has
about a dozen eps of captain and tenille

so i didnt get it complete, but got a good hunk
so id say YES i do expect to find the complete run in time! :wave:

Hi Sonny, no it doesnt matter- i was just asking (believe it or not!)

SOMETIMES old uncle lamont is wrong

i didnt know FOXNEWSRULES traded until i asked him last month and now i know he trades boxing!

reporting the thread? well that is your call, i really dont think ANYONE on either side crossed any lines or broke any rules on this one-- a heated debate yes! but i didnt see any mudslinging or any attack dogs! adults should be able to disagree and even bicker without insulting people and name calling, and i think (this time at least) all sides played nice!

I'm glad Sonny reported it. In one post he states he doesn't trade and in the next post states this board is for people who trade and since he doesn't, why should I not assume he's here to cause trouble.

Newsflash. Anyone can post on the Trading Post, whether they trade or not. Despite what the whining and bitter old posters say, that's the rule. Lamont with his, "Do you trade?" question all the time.

Anyone can post here.

Newsflash But that's not what Sonny said. You once stated you trade boxing but I can't find one post were you ever listed what you had, what you wanted etc. Even Solomon states he repeats his requests for local news because new members join and he hopes one has local news. Don't you want to see if any new members share your passion for boxing, so like traders here, let's see what you got to trade. Otherwise like Sonny, only here to sir up the coals.

Harvey

Mr. Cranky

10-28-2006, 03:14 PM

Context. Think Harvey.

"The board should be for anybody who is looking for anything to trade?"

Do you see the word "only" in there? The point was made that anyone can post on this board for anything they want.

I don't trade on this board. Too many....ah better not. I don't have to explain what I trade, don't trade, used to trade. I'll take care of myself.

Okay, fair enough. So you just come here to add some wisdom and expertise and share your knowledge of whatever? I guess we can say the same for Sonny. Only thing that surprises me is that the only time you show is when Solomon is involved in the thread. Maybe there is more then meets the eye.

I don't care what surprises you. Like I said, I don't have to explain anything to you or anyone. Only TJ. I come here because I'm allowed to. I'm not breaking any rules.

With that in mind, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop harassing me for no reason. Otherwise, I'll be forced to report you.

If that's a threat, then report me. Harassing you? You came along on page 7 to dig right in. Did I say you broke any rules? It's allright twist things around.

Got it?

Mr. Cranky

10-28-2006, 03:49 PM

Question-- if 2 sides are BOTH arguing back and forth for an ENTIRE Page---
can 1 side claim it is harassment if they keep responding? it seems both of you two have had some jabs back and forth. And I think its been said many times before that if you dont want to keep an arguement going, stop arguing. does it really matter who gets the last word in? I think we all need to keep things in perspective here... these boards are NOT real life and some people put too much weight into these little heated exchanges and make mountains out of molehills.
I wasn't arguing. Just posting. Harvey started in with his baloney on post #128. Some Trading Post regulars have to keep in mind that this is TJ's site, and stop giving non-regulars the third degree when they post here.

When I post, why I post, where I post, my business. Nobody elses. I'm not breaking any rules. Not so sure I can say the same for others around here.
