Quoting Winston Smith:

Then you have me confused. To e the rationale is both clear and obvious. Both in my initial comment and in my response to psrsec I see people selectively reading the rule. Including you all the time and amll too often. This is not the first time I have pointed out that the problems with interpretations of the rules is failure to read and grasp them in their entirety  or by taking one small phrase or even just one word and interpreting it completely outbid the context of totality. So much of this nonsense is so totally unnecessary but you aren't willing to listen. The concept if context and totality completely escapes you, or you don't care. I prefer the former.

The answer to the Crew is clear and obvious - and completely different from yours.

You might not like it but I see you selectively reading the rules all the time. Why? Because you make statements, declare them to be true and then refuse, despite repeated requests, to back up your statements by quoting the relevant area in the rules.

You have stated EXACTLY how I see this situation and why: "This is not the first time I have pointed out that the problems with interpretations of the rules is failure to read and grasp them in their entirety  or by taking one small phrase or even just one word and interpreting it completely outbid the context of totality. So much of this nonsense is so totally unnecessary but you aren't willing to listen."

I am open and willing to discuss the contribution process as long as it is done in a respectful way.

But, I am not interested in being lectured or told what I must think or decide. I can make up my own mind.

Your quoting of the rules is correct. So what do you not understand, pal

I did not understand what you were trying to say to Parsec.  I think I understand it now, but I didn't then.  I believe I have solved the riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that was your post.

I re read what I said , perfectly clear to me.

I would hope so, you wrote it.  Unfortunately, what is clear to you in the writing isn't always clear in the reading.

You are selectively reading the rules, parsec. Try starting with page one, then come back and tell me what the primary source of data should be whenever possible. That statement is supported by the runtime you wuoted

I fail to see what on earth you are about. I read the rules and the one I quoted is exact from the contribution rules concerning run time of the release.

It makes no difference what other innuendo you can perceive by perusing other sections of the rules Winston, the rules for acquiring the Run time data is there is black and white and is what I quoted.

Jimmy:
If you were suggesting anything, please take note that I said almost precisely, one exception, what you said and git jumped for it.

I disagrrmee on the runtime, for us per the rules there are two possible runtimes. The cover or the runtime of the dis if different in this case, the third runtime is one determined by a user, this is not provided for in the rules. If reading the disc yields a runtime including the music thenn that is the runtime of for the contribution,the users opinion about the music or yours is meaningless and not within the rules.

Regarding the actual Run Time, what else should we cut? Eg local distributor's intro trailers attached to the main feature? The awful up to 20 seconds long StudioCanal intro comes to mind, is it correct to remove them?

Let it die. Make up your own mind and contribute it, who cares. Let the unfortunate few who own the title decide for themselves. Or better yet, throw the rotten disc away and demand a refund.

I'm sorry, did you wake up on the wrong side? I wasn't looking for an argument. I wanted to know what the correct way was to enter the data. So far I haven't argued anything, only asked a question. Seems to me that only one of us is starting a stupid argument, and it isn't me...
