Please forgive my defensive reply that I am editing now. The reason this thread was created was to see how many people would be part of an online iPod collecting forum. Now I realize some of you wonder why the thread in this forum is not sufficient. As a different user other than me has stated that it would be better if it was a little more organized than one thread. Another consideration is that an iPod-dedicated community would be more responsive to discussions of specific version topics and specific iPod chatter, since that's the whole theme of the forum. Please forgive me for getting defensive after being annoyed by some of the replies and thanks for your input. Anyone else want to put their two cents in?
