I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

it’s one of the first things that drew me to RBR in the first place as well… it might seem inconsequential but the fact is a website such as this is only as reliable as the sources it draws upon. to neglect to properly credit them – either overtly or in a direct link – is not just a a question of etiquette but a statement on the reliability of everything printed under it’s aegis.

well, it's partially motivated by the fact i'm a working journalist.

i find it physically painful to omit something as basic as a credit. visions of what my first editor might do if he found out would keep me from sleeping for a week.

have a friend in film school in North Carolina and he recently told me that his teachers make every student watch the credits from beginning to end on every film they watch in class. Which as you can imagine, is quite a few.
