Martian:

Please, if you feel slighted then show me in the Rules where your position is supported or even implied. I don't believe you can, I believe you are creating your own interpretation (and that's fine, I might even agree) but what you are saying definitively is outside of the rules, hence my term of twisting said Rules. You clearly are not operating within them. on this one. You are allowing yourself to INTERPRET the data, instead of following the data...why...who knows...who really cares.This kind of thing is done frequently, this is why we have the constant threads about parsing this name or that name, some believe that they have the answers to parsing a given name, usually with no backup support, why does this happen, I don't know, is it important precisely how a name is parsed...no. When it comes right down to it for Profiler purposes what is the difference between H/B/C and H//BC...answer NONE, the only mistake was that we didn't anticipate the issue and ken has only sort of fixed it, as long as the data is entered the same way then it makes NO DIFFERENCE, but we have users  who for whatever reason force culture into it. This isn't much different, you move outside of the Rules to allow words and language to create your interpretation outside of the Rules. Does it REALLY make any difference....NO!, it doesn't. We all have the ability to interpret the data anyway we choose locally. Why must we have these insane discussions, and I do mean INSANE, where I will even say i see your point and might even agree with it, while my position is to be belittled and insulted, you don't say I see where your coming from Skip...and we are supposed to be able to have a rational discussion on that basis...never happens and then North launches a personal insult. Excuse me everyone here needs a visit from nurse Ratched and the orderlies, you're all NUTS; and I don't support going outside of the Rules, that is for YOUR local.

The Martian had it closer agree to disagree. But given that I answered his comments and he has not answered mine, that only further convinces me that I AM RIGHT, he simply has no argument to present, and i have countered his whether he likes it or not.

Until ken says otherwise, this is no different than Minority Report (Accepted twice standard and BD) or A.I.  Which is also accepted.

Until Ken comes up with a programming solution, I will continue to do it the way Ken suggested (never stated as fact as far as I know).

The crew is part of the squadron, and should be shown credited that way.

There have been numerous exceptions to the rules and this might also qualify. Until the nesting situation is resolved, hopefully Ken will weigh in and settle this.

Don't get sucked in.  No exception is needed as the rules do not require cast headers to be formatted in any specific manner.  You first post on this issue was, in my opinion, spot on.  It would, however, be nice if Ken weighed in...if for no other reason that to prevent this from spinning out of control.

After carefully reading and reading the rules and the postings, it is my opinion that you are correct.

I should have trusted my first instinct and stuck with my original posting...so you are correct regarding me being correct!

Irregardless, I do hope that this can be discussed in a respectful manner.

Input from Ken is always most welcome.

Kathy:

I have been trying to discuss this rationally. Would care to share your wisdom on the rules, I don't see it or you being correct. I have not insulted anyone ...yet, though the same cannot be siad of others.

To do it the way the rules are written, presents a problem which will have to be rectified eventually when Ken is presented with it and he makes the common sense decision, to do it as Pete and Unicus have presented.

I see nothing in the rules that prevent formatting the cast in the way suggested. They have been grouped into logical groupings and they mirror the credits as best as the program will currently allow us.

Rick and north:

Once again I ask what is the basis for determining that it is nested...the data....NO. So what is it, the use of language and Words, THAT is not within the Rules. The data actually dictates otherwise.

oops
