They are intended for those interested in this aspect of film music.
Perhaps you could just scroll past them if you are not personally interested in them.
Hoping you find threads pertaining to your particular areas of interest.
I apologize for the tone of my first comment, but really, this is too much. Based on numbers of responses, these threads don't seem to generate the interest that would warrant such a proliferation of them. Not my place to take them down, I'm just saying. Your intent is generous, but the SHEET MUSIC MAN check list thread does the job just fine!
Sorry, as much as I love collecting this stuff, I'm with Dana here - this has become ridiculous - the whole front page of this board is filled with this - enough already - this is not the place for Richard to hire people to post all this stuff - it DOES fill up the board and threads that should stay on the main page for at least a while disappear - one thread - period. It's become nothing more than an irritant.
The key for me is that the purpose of the General Discussion forum is film music discussion. And while that mission is not always fulfilled to rigorous standards, when a subject regularly dominates the board and the front page (today, it was something like 34 SEPARATE THREADS AT ONCE) one expects that a lot of discussion is being generated within the community. But that isn't usually the case with these threads; most seem to garner few or no responses, even as they drive other threads off the front page. Perhaps so many threads at once overwhelm potential contributors? The project is interesting, and obviously not entirely unappreciated. But perhaps this board is not the ideal venue -- or at least, not if we're going to have a lot of days like today, where most of the front page got displaced. I'd prefer to see a more specialized website or blog of some sort, and a single "sheet music man" thread here, updated accordingly.
Sorry poor Sammy Fain had to be the flashpoint for all this.
