I didn't reference the op at all in that comment. Though I believrule is fairly clear in its own right, as to what allows us to.create a profile of a bonus disc. I think you handled Inception properly for yourself. I was left with the impression that husker had misunderstood the rule, tim had corrected it and I was merely reinforcing it. Remember that from my pov I see an awful lot if either plain old misunderstandings of the rules, or very deliberate attempts to squirm around them, coupled with users who don't want to listen when someone can offer some clarity. As I said before, you can call me cynical , but I have come to believe there is far more of the latter than the former, but I don't believe that was true of either the op or husker, simple.misunderstandings. I am still intrigued by the various gee yaws that are sometimes included and whether or not they bring something to the table in value.

OK, first off I never asked about the bonus dvd (aka special features dvd).

I asked about the regular blu-ray (with it's own case/UPC#) which was inside this larger box that contained the bottle opener. And since both have UPC#s how do we profile these two things, the box and the regular blu-ray release put inside.

You simply profile the movie by it's outer UPC. This way you have one UPC for the bottle opener edition and another for the regular blu-ray.

You posted in this thread and questioned why it was posted in the first place, so by posting it in the first place you are referencing them.

It may be clear for you, but it might not be others.  What is the problem with getting clarification?  I don't like having additional children profiles unless absolutely unnecessary, but I can see how others might find them useful.  Even if I don't have them it is easy enough just to click no when I'm notified there are children profiles associated with them when adding them to my collection.

I think that is the thing, you weren't 'merely' reinforcing him but adding in your opinion that it was an unneeded question.

I think this is your biggest problem.  Instead of taking a post, thread or question at face value you are reading in things into them.  Maybe someone is trying to skirt the rules but what if they aren't?

I think they most certainly do, at least for some collectors and are definitely worth profiling.

Sometimes double, I am vague for a reason. Doesn't mean I am being unclear, but perhaps choosing to make a broader point.

I wasn't sure what Skip meant by his statement - I therefore politely asked for a clarification - becasue I very seldom contribute these types of profiles.

If a statement is vague, and one doesn't understand, expect to be asked about it.

I wasn't "stirring the pot" - why must you make things something they are not? PLEASE stop jumping down my throat when I post anything.

I didn't take it that way, I too was curious what the 1% and now I know so.

My own solution would be to treat this as a box set with a single child, which would be the regular release. Most of the time, the whole thing just gets profiled under the UPC of the outside box. The rules don't clearly say either way.

I chose not to jump down your throat, Kathy. I don't want you to take this wrong because I mean no offense.. But you have made me a bit skeptical.

I have quite a few sets like this and this is how they have all been done, with one addition...because the set does inculde the regular UPC version, that version is added to the box set contents.

That's how I think it should be done, but I've hardly seen any done like this in practice.
