It was more exasperation than condescension. I dislike being told I never did things that I did long ago. I was being informative, maybe defensive, but not condescending.

And you would actually be VERY wrong to assume that I remember everything I ever did. I don't. Every day I find things (or people show me things) that I just don't remember doing.

As for the "volume I" idea I presume you mean "do a bunch of the Klingons, call it volume I, then do more Klingons later and call it volume II, and every now and then count the Klingon ship cards not in a 'volume' and consider doing a new volume."

Not a horrible idea, but there are issues.

1. I don't see the benefit of one "volume" with 24 cards over four "packs" with six cards. Or one "volume" with 50 cards over five "packs" with 10 cards.

2. The packs don't sell enough copies to be worth the time it takes to do them, which is why we never did all of them. Maybe in the future there will be some fundamental change in the company and an extra worker could take all of the Klingon ship card files and do something with them, but as long as Steve Cole has to do them, Steve Cole has too many demands on his time and things get done in the order of how much benefit they create.

3. It might confuse things if a given Klingon ship was in pack #4 and in volume III. Someone who bought all the packs might look at a volume of 50 ships and note that he has 37 of them in seven different packs and wonder what is going on. It would not be worth the money to him to buy the volume to get 13 ships when others got 50 for the same money.

ADMIN MODE

Please don't make assumptions about what someone is thinking, especially if you think the person is being negative. Most of the time, the person is trying to be helpful or explain something. When a question is answered, most of the time it is answered not just for the person who asked, but for other folks who didn't feel brave enough to ask the question. (For each person who asks, there are usually at least nine other people who are wondering the same.)

Thanks!
