pressing war... choose sides

[Flaming_Telepath]

OK, this is now a real surprise...

 

41 Pro-pressing, 42 Anti-pressing

 

Even if that vote falls away a touch, it will remain a high percentage of people against the practice.

 

If you assume that the majority of dealers are for the practice, and the majority of practitioners/traders are for the practice, what percentage of the actual buying public is actually in support?

 

But as we've been told time and time again...nobody cares about pressing.

But you see, the fly in the ointment is that there may be individuals who are anti-pressing, but when faced with the decision, will still purchase a pressed book.

Agreed.

 

However, can this not be a case of them having to make the purchase...or make no purchase at all? It certainly will be in a few years time, the way that we're going.

 

What is being said here is that if they had the choice, they would prefer pressing to go away.

I disagree. There are an unlimited amount of books where it is not financially sensible to press even up to a grade of 9.6.

Again, that is one interpretation. There is a difference between not subscribing to a particular matter and wishing it ceased to exist.

 

So then...just how would you like to spin interpret the results?

I wouldn't.

 

They are what they are; the opinion of a small group of nerds that think the hobby revolves around them and which can change on any given day based on who is or who isn't online.

 

OK.

 

However, the hobby does revolve around a small group of nerds...just not the ones posting in these threads.

In the first place. the pro pressers were a small group of nerds and the anti pressers were a larger group of nerds.

Way its going there will be a comic pressing kit put together for $199 and everyone will press their books before they get bagged and boarded .
