Since Screen-L is devoted to the study of film/TV, I see this as an entirely appropriate activity. However, I'd suggest we shy away from posting long lists of our PERSONAL tape collections and wish lists of tapes we're looking for. If you're just looking for a tape to fill out your own personal Hugo Haas archive, then you'd probably be better served by Cinema-L or one of the other general interest discussion lists.
