A few months ago I submitted some info to the Internet Movie Database for the television short “The Price of Life” which originally appeared on PBS’ _American Playhouse_. I haven’t heard from them since and the title and all references to it (credits for the performers, hell, even the director doesn’t get credit) have been removed. Any idea why? ---

I submitted a goof for “O Brother” which concerned the fact that the boy claimed to have nicked a census taker even though the last census in the area was 7 years ago. It never appeared. I also submitted the same goof to movie mistakes. It never appeared. And more wierdly I submitted a goof about “Return of the Jedi” as well. It never appeared. My conclusion?
