: Hello, I'm Leonard Maltin.

: "What we've got here is failure to
: communicate.
: Some men you just can't reach..."

: For a long time now Indyfan has been flooded to death with posts about Indygear, and people are complainin' about us "Kiddies", Graml Fall Guy, Jay, etc. bein' smartasses and immature. Well look at it this way - We see your Indy Gear posts as you see our immature smartass posts. Ever consider that?!?!
: Yes, I understand this forum says "All things Indy", but some people come here asking about costumes from other movies! Like one guy said, "Where could I get the jackets from Pearl Harbor?" and stuff. Now people are coming here thinking this is a Movie Clothing Forum!

: You see there's an IndyGear.com message board, just post your IndyGear there already!!! What in the world inspires you to post it here when there's already a forum on that? And what the HELL does this have to do with Indy? Yes, "All things Indy", but when you start talking about "How do I fix this flap?" "What if I iron this?" it's more like a "Wested FAQ Forum" or a "Alden FAQ Forum" etc.

: If Indy were real and he were here, do you think he'd like people asking him about his damn clothes!?!?

: I know there is nothing much to say about Indy nowadays, but when there's an IndyGear forum, GO TO IT!!!

: I know Michaelson(Grins), we all were asking questions like hell about Indy Infernal when it came out, but wasn't that about the MAN and his ADVENTURES instead of his clothes? You're just talking about fabric! And little pieces of leather!!!!!!! You go off talking about OTHER kinds of hats and jackets as well instead of the wested or others that try to resemble the Indy look.

: Here's the whole thing. \ | / The line on the left is Indy's Adventures, the one in the middle is Indy, and the one on the right is his gear. You're so damned slanted toward his gear you practically fall off the meter and start asking for fashion tips and how to find OTHER leather jackets from different companies than Wested or LucasArts and leather jackets from other movies!

: You wanna see more posts about Indy Jack? Well you'll get 'em! You hate 'em? Well now you know how we feel! He's a snowman in Indy's clothing pretending to be Indy, just like YOU!

: You do that stuff on General Movie Boards, not on a place like this! I could understand if no one knew the place that made 'em or they were just discovered and you needed info on how to order 'em, but YOU DON'T!

: How about asking Micah to put up a link to the Indy Gear.com forum right next to this and the fan fic forum on the main page so when the thought of posting about fabric comes to mind, they go there! Or how about Micah let's this place talk about IndyGear and creates a new forum dedicated to talking about Indy?

: Sounds good to me...

: P.S. He didn't say anything in offense of IndyGear, so before you assume just read it!

You know Shorty, I bet when you grow up, and can afford the expensive gear, your attitude will do a 180. Personally, I never read about Rolls Royces, because, I can't afford them, and if folks were talking about them here constantly, I would get mad too. It has to something like this that is causing all of this anti-gear ruckus. Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense. This place is for "all things Indy", and that includes the gear, the games, the films, and EVERYTHING else. Don't take a rocket scientist to understand that. So why are you guys having such a difficult time? It is illogical, and therefore, something is going on here outside of logic. Like emotions, of envy, etc. Don't laugh, many wars have been started over less. There is room for everone here, and the fact that you guys are doing so much complaining, leaves many of us scratching our heads. So all of this makes no sense at all. Unless, of course, you guys want to be little dictators, and dictate what "all Indyfans" should be talking about. From your post, it sounds like this to me. Regards, Fedora
