I can agree with the rules on lineage here but it needs to be recognized that there must be some exceptions. Please show me "lineage" on old Miles Davis audio tapes,.for example...or what is the complete lineage of a silver boot. for that matter? It is only a reference point, it is not lineage that can be traced back to the source recording. So I can see the mods making exceptions for video trading (which is much more in its infancy than trading audio) if you include the md5s and are known for putting out good quality stuff. After all, what is the difference between a "Crystal Cat" version, a "Swingin' Pig" version, or a "Phishblowz" version? If it is rare or uncirculated good stuff, then let the "Phishblowz" version be the reference point, documented with md5s.

There are certainly exceptions being made here for other people when the occasion arises.

Just IMHO...
