*** it actually happens that my engineering background is in optics so I'm a finicky customer. (Careful whom you try to put down.) ***

**and somehow this makes your comments more valid? very amusing.**

Yes, actually, it does. Credit where credit's due, madam.

** i notice you don't know my background either, so you try to be careful.**

Never said I did know; I can only speak for myself, which I did. Is there a problem?

*** Hooboy! Polls have been taken. Great. Um, doesn't that sort of thing rather contradict the sort of detailed concern you clearly have? ***

**Note: "research" is not the same as "polls". and where is the contradiction?**

You alleged that lots of people liked it. That "research" sounds to me pretty much like a "poll".

*** Many houses here, as in Westwood (exhibition capital of the world) are equipped with HPS-4000. Lacking that, many have Kintek. How can you even *hope* to compete with those systems, at home? (Perhaps you haven't heard them?...) ***

**Again, without knowing my background, this is a really funny comment.**

Forgive me for being unable to divine your background. That's no cause to go insulting me.

**Hint: someone who gets invited to film premieres is not likely to be lacking in experience.**

No indeed, but perhaps lacking in capacity would be the explanation. Nor does it escape notice that you avoided a direct answer to a simple question.

**As i've pointed out, it's a lot easier to achieve better results at home for many reasons.**

You made the assertion, yes.

*** DVDs never have droput? Ha! ***

**Actually, no. they shouldn't.**

Alas, they do.

*** As for "Colour degradation", I tend to see films early in their runs, for all the obvious reasons. ***

**So when you said you've "never" experienced colour degradation you are obviously speaking from a wealth of experience and your "engineering background in optics" :-)**

Madam, your sarcasm is becoming tiresome. I assume from the spelling that you're British (or the like), which ipso facto makes you better than me. (Unless you're Canadian.) I understand that. I also take "degradation" to apply to the exhibition print, which sets in usually well after I'm outta there. One can *make* it not a problem by avoiding $2 rerun theatres.
