"I WILL ONLY SEND A BLANK TAPE TO COPY ON AND PAY FOR POSTAGE. I THINK THATS FAIR"

Just curious - if I'm reading your post correctly....that you will send 1 blank tape for someone else to copy the episodes you want and pay for the postage for them to return it to you?

If that is so, you probably will not get any offers....

It takes equipment, electricity, gas to get to the post office, and most valuable of all - time.

Nanny Fine · 03-22-2004, 09:11 AM

Nannyfan is right. The very least I would do something like this for would be some blank tapes. If you really need something you probably shouldn't declare the rules on your terms and then expect people to jump right up with the goods. JMO though

I raised my eyebrows on this one, too. Personally, I would more than like do this for someone I'd already established a trading relationship with. Otherwise I wouldn't.

..... Ditto here

I agree. And the rules typed in caps makes even more of a turn off. This is basically saying, "I want everything, and well, um, you get nothing out of it."

Is that really a reason to leave SO? It's not like they were rude in what they said.

WoW! I just asked if I read your post correctly

If there is a board that has people who tape stuff for free - and all that I have to do is send a tape and pay for mailing it back to me - I'd like to be a member of that board!! There's lots of stuff I'd like to get for free

lazygrae · 03-22-2004, 10:21 PM

I'll say Wow. This thread is unbelievable. The question is this: what, exactly, is FAIR about the other person being out time, effort and capital investment for zero in return? That's what I'd like to know.

I cannot believe you are going to leave the boards over this post. If you weren't getting a response we suggested reasons as to why that might be. I don't have the video in question but if I did I wouldn't have even offered it up because of the tone of the initial post.

I'm sure we are all thrilled that you have plenty of people to do this for you - but we were just stating that there are many people who won't. If you had a lot of people to do this for you, finding this video shouldn't have been all that hard, no?

I think, based on other posts I've read, that this person is quite young (like, not even a teenager yet). I may have him/her confused with someone else but I'm pretty sure this is the same person.

I believe the statement refers to your level of maturity.
