There is nothing as annoying as reading lists stuck together as
paragraphs.

--DITTO-- the format of your posts are definitely not reader friendly. Glad
to see somebody else finally comment on that. One alternative would be to
just LIST the new releases and refer your readers to your web site for the
specifics or details about the specs and special content (which by the way,
is usually meaningless junk for the most part - like knowing that a release
has "Four multi-angle scene studies" and "Four Art Galleries" is really
going to make someone run out and buy that specific edition).

Always willing to listen to constructive comments. If you noticed I changed
to a more list oriented format with the very next post. I hope this new
format is easier on the eyes. Thank you for your comments.

I agree, I would almost always skip your posts since it was too
difficult to find the DVD titles without careful reading. The list
format is much better.
