Well, I remember you reproached me to say those things, some years ago...

Seems that you changed your mind. Just using "real" data (I mean data used by everybody except those following Invelos rules) would avoid this..

I think you misunderstood me,

I'm not deleting the data to enter some invented data, but to enter the data according to the contribution rules.

I changed my mind only in so far that some of the recent "Clarifications" and "Rule-Changes" don't match my personal preferences. But, so what? I just don't contribute to these datafields anymore, if my contribution would overwrite other rule-conform data, that's basically all.
The effect is that nowadays my profile-updates are limited to "Overview" and "Cast".

No, Yves, yo have it wrong. Real data is that data that we take from CREDITS, Covers for Titles, etc. The data to which you refer iis the invented data. The Credits, Covers, et al are the "punch cards" which contain the data that we use, not contrived data based upon in this case an invention which never actually existed according to the filmmaker HIMSELF, TRace ON, this was verified by the original "making of" documentary on the film. Other such contrived data may be derived from certain cultural aspects but do not match the actual credits. Just stick to the "punch cards" and all will be well. Ken still has not responded to the basic question of just how far afield do we fo to determine a title, and do we or do we NOT use standard caps, in which case Tron is correct per the Rules as they relate to the cover. The Rules do not say to go beyond the credit block for titles and THAT is only as it relates to possessives...nothing else. So where do we go to decide what a title MIGHT be.

Punchcards where a system to keep a record of when workers clocked in and out. Replaced by the electronic swipe card.

That was one use of them, but it is not the use that Skip was referring to.  Like I said, 90% will not know what you're talking about, Skip!

"Punchcards"????

You're really showing your age there Skip.  I would hazard that 90% of this forum have no idea what that means!  LOL.

Man, I feel old

I must be one of that 10% then. 

Punchcards used to be the standard way of programming computers. Also used on knitting machines to set the pattern, I believe.

And, after a quick Google, originally used on textile looms in the 19th Century. Is Skip THAT old?! 

Judging by his general know it all attitude, it would not surprise me to learn that Skip was a brutal mill owner.

Employing poverty stricken children to risk life and limb, ducking under the looms to collect excess bits of cotton that had fallen to the floor. A far cry from his now humble pizza delivery job 

Remember to mark your cards!

Anybody remember paper tape readers...?

Of course, how else did one bootstrap a PDP-11 

But I have forgotten the switch settings (be kind, guys, it was 30+ years ago, a lot of beer has passed since then). Anybody here remember the octal code to start an '11??
