> Recent Discogs updates I appreciate:
> -The new Master Release page with thumbnails & filters
> -Update of [g2.5.2.] so we can get rid of unnecessary and arbitrary use of aliases
> -Update of [g13.8] (.1&.2) so it is clear promotional material should not be present in the primary image
> -Update so the Stereo tag can now be used plain and factually, not just to distinguish from mono versions

> If you edit a sub of mine, and get a 'thanks' message, this means I approve the edit, but cannot vote because I would be voting on my own.

> Unicode non breakings space in Windows OS: Hold [Alt] and enter 0160
> Use this to create extra space in for instance runouts, spine information, ... where information is clearly separated from each other.
> A non breaking space is always parsed as a normal space and cannot be copy/pasted.
> Don't use multiple non-breaking spaces to simulate effective spacing, just use it to avoid lumping information together that shouldn't be lumped together.
> Of course: never use them in artist/label/company/... names.

> There is a phenomenon called "frame of reference", "unconscious framing" or "implicit framing", where one poses a question that leads the majority answering from a certain perspective, without any intend to (mis)lead anyone. While often a completely different answer would be given by the same majority if the same questions was posed in a different way. As such, it's always a good thing to strip down the information to the bare minimum, and try to read the posed problem in a blank frame. Warning, this might lead to being considered a dissident, as one approaching things different from the others just for the sake of it. Apply this suggestion at your own risk.
