I apologize for trying to add some humor to my posts.

Your flame baiting, however, won't work.

Flame baiting, humor, hardly on either count. I am calling it like I see it, Achim. You drove it into the ground, amigo. I recognoiize that there is a method to the madness, i want to try and comprehend the what that method is, I am comfortable with whatever direction I ultimately take. If you want to try and help me comprehend whatever the method is, you are more than welcome. I have said many time that if you lock two programmers up and give them a problem they are as like as not to come up with different answers. That is what we have here and I simply want to understand Ken's answer, it is possible he is thinking of something I haven't and vice versa. I see a serious inconsistency which I believe will bring us nothing but more confusion, and hopefully I can sort that out. That is all. Nothing more, nothing less. And what my ultimate answer will be here...at the moment i have not the foggiest idea nor am I overly concerned about it one way or the other. At this particular juncture, I am not comfortable Contributing some case data or voting on it and I would like to be able to change that..we'll see.

You might want to remeber that next time, before you say that the Rules are all very clear to you and you wonder why anyone could possibly have any question


I'll skip over the other post, as we are already back to normal in PM...

Darxon has it right - Ken has decided that the contents dictate how we treat the cover, not the other way round.

And please take your bickering elsewhere - I don't want this thread locked.

The problem is that some people -- most people -- are using slip case and slip cover interchangeably.  They aren't the same.  They also seem to think that a multidisc digipak only counts as a single unit.  Ken's latest attempt at a definition only exascerbated the situation.  When we've got pictures of the damn things, I can't understand how anybody can get it wrong, but they do.  Chalk it up to mass stupidity or mass hysteria or something.

According to Ken, it does only count as one unit.

Darxon:

You are correct and distilled it quite nicely and i am trying to understand the angle Ken is using. I have said that if you lock two programmers in a room with a problem they will come up with different approaches to the same problem. It doesn't mean either is wrong per se, it means they are different perceptions of the solution. At the moment my perception is different and I am trying to understand this one.

Thanks for that north, that is more helpful than you know.
