Hello Mitchell Mates,
After hearing about new books and articles, I have no choice but to warn everyone what I learned many years ago, one fact that everyone who really cares should keep in mine:
Don't Believe Everything You Read!
If I believed everything I studied including books, websites, articles, etc., then "serial numbers mean nothing!". This is what made me start my studies. After I documented 300 - Mitchell 300 reels, I became the most hated Mitchell lover in the world because I hurt their huge super-egos! This only drove me to buy another 300 - Mitchell reels. By then I was broke and had to start selling off these reels to pay for my mortgage. Then the naysayers really started the attacks saying I was just doing my studies for profit!?
By then all Mitchell Lovers were divided in three groups; one - believing me and; two - believing them and; three - (the largest group by far) refused to get involved because they didn't want to get attacked (like me)! I'm sure some were in this third group because they didn't want to hurt my feelings. I kept strong and all the mess went away and we all lived in peace, the Mitchell Reel Museum had become the most trusted source for all things Mitchell.
It now appears that group - 2 is back with a vengeance and doing whatever it takes to divide us! I'll close with this, isn't it strange that the old Mitchell Museum was in a slow crash at the same exact time someone was extracting (copied) our website!? For those that don't know what's going on, I will list the bootlegged site who is trying to do the same thing, copy us! Before you read what he's posted, know that I tried my best to get the files and folders from him to bring the Museum back in it's entirety. When he was able to copy all new posts being made in our new forum, I'd had enough and took him down. To this day he, whoever he is, has not even tried to contact me to work things out.
I'm sorry for the long post but trust me, this was the short version!
