I disagree.

So if all it takes to have an interview is to send in questions and have it answered, then sending a question to someone like Dear Abby and having it answered and published is also an interview.

This is far too boring. 

So I think they should be considered Bonus Films, or Closed Captions, and the Locality automatically recorded as Russia or South Africa (depending on the day of the week).
Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it?  Guttermouth "Lemon Water".  Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally.  So I'm an anarchist, deal with it.  Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted...

Part of the Other Features rule: " If you're unsure whether a particular Extra should be listed here, it probably shouldn't be."

Does this help clarify the issue?!?

Nope... because the question is... does questions submitted by fans (and then asked to the cast/crew) is considered an interview or not.

I must say... I am still leaning towards this is indeed still an interview.

Say for example an interviewer sends and interviewee his questions... say through an email or what have you. The interviewee sends back the answers to those questions... And this interview is made public whatever way... posted on a website or printed in a newspaper or what have you... this is still an interview

I do not see that as an interview. In an interview, you can have reaction to the answer, as "I do not understand what you mean", or "You have not answered really to my question ", or anything else. With written messages, there is no interaction, so it is not an interview. It is just a questioning.

Well, we will just have to agree to disagree... as I still see this as a type of interview... and going by the poll at least... you seem to be in the minority.

As far as I know there has never been complete agreement on any issue related to this database. Why should this one be any different?

Once again ether answer could be right or wrong depending on how one views it.

Only Ken or invelos can definitely answer this question which, based on similar topics, isn't going to happen.

Polls give some input, but they do not give an accurate picture because the number of people who participate in them are such a small percentage of the invelos community.

But, when there are no rules/clarifications from invelos, I usually abide by the majority opinion whether or not I agree with it.

In my contribution notes I alert the screeners that issue is not clear cut, point out the relevant thread and abide by what the screeners decide.

Well, Galileo was in the minority... Do you still think the Sun revolves around the Earth ?
To be or not in the minority means nothing about being wrong or not.

And in my personal opinion... you are wrong. I believe an interview can be done in many different ways.

Yet another definition from Merriam Webster online:
Quote:
1: a formal consultation usually to evaluate qualifications (as of a prospective student or employee)


2a: a meeting at which information is obtained (as by a reporter, television commentator, or pollster) from a person

b: a report or reproduction of information so obtained

What is on the disc seems to fit 2a.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

But how is reading questions off of cards a meeting?

There is multiple people joining together to do it... so it is definitely a meeting.

I don't think I ever seen someone answer their own question... as far as memory is serve a different person asked the question of the person the question was addressed to. The only exception to this that I can remember is when the question was asked to the entire group.

Here is a clip of what I am talking about...



While I wish the clip showed more on how it is done... you can plainly see that there is the cards she (the moderator) reads the fan questions from.

If you are sure about what is an interview and consider that people who disagree with you are wrong , I wonder why you opened this thread...
