I agree. I didn't see it as being any different to the multiple posts we routinely get for different sets of screen caps or the different Oxford Murders extras reports. We quite often get a flurry of reports around particular finds or topics. I think virtually all cases, all the different posts add something to the whole (the extras reports are a classic example of that) and it would not be the same without out them. Your post was no different to somebody squeeing to emphasise a particular photo in a new set and that's happened often enough.

Some of the interviews that happen are very samey and I wasn't sure I was going to bother downloading the Jo Whiley one (I find her a bit irritating) until I read your post so I certainly found is useful. I may not have completely shared your enthusiasm on the same bits of the interview but there were some poarts of the interview I found fascinating and different (the lines and the bits about PR being the real work) so I'm glad I downloaded it. I didn't have problem at all with what you said; it was perfectly clear it would depend on personal reactions how you took the interview.

Although this is a finds community, it would be very boring if nothing was allowed but the absolute bare bones of the finds. It would be devoid of all personality. I do understand your point about the lack of chit-chat. Maybe we need to make a little bit more effort to comment with thoughts (within the rules of the community) rather than just to thank people for posting. Thanking is very nice but it's hard for it to develop into further discussion as it's kind of closed (e.g. thank you! You're welcome! End of discussion).
