Was much rage when I proposed the idea of cutting off the OPs and EDs entirely (back in AVI days).

More ordered chapters would be nice so I could just not get OP/EDs at all now it's more readily possible. But most encoders are too lazy. Encoder delays were the largest source of drama when I was subbing, not TLs, oddly enough.
Too bad that's not a common mistake and only a personal preference. And the encoder I deal with goes out of his way to get them done quickly and produce the best product he can.(I think most do) And since you are getting these fansubs for free shouldn't you at least do the honorable thing and watch the actual OP/ED that the folks(animators) who produced it worked on?(Out of respect - or sheer politeness) And you know, since you have to use the pointer to click on the chapter button, it only takes a second or two longer to advance the progress bar on the player.
