The question isn't whether one should or shouldn't have an opinion. The question is how one presents their opinion - whether ones comes off as confrontational (thus loosing their audience in the process) or whether they start arguing in circles after both sides have said what they needed to say.
Make no mistake, it's not everyone. It's a vocal minority.

Looking around for news, I stumbled across what seems to be the press release for the third volume:
Walt Disney's Donald Duck Vol. 2: "A Christmas For Shacktown" (Vol. 2)
Out Nov. 7
This volume of Fantagraphics?? reprinting of Carl Barks??s classic Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge work focuses on the early 1950s, universally considered one of Barks??s very peak periods. Originally published in 1951, "A Christmas for Shacktown" is one of Barks??s masterpieces: A rare 32-pager that stays within the confines of Duckburg, featuring a storyline in which the Duck family works hard to raise money to throw a Christmas party for the poor children of the city??s slums (depicted by Barks with surprisingly Dickensian grittiness), and climaxing in one of the most memorable images Barks ever created, the terrifying bottomless pit that swallows up all of Scrooge??s money. But there??s lots more gold to be found in this volume (literally), which features both the "The Golden Helmet" (a quest off the coast of Labrador for a relic that might grant the finder ownership of America, reducing more than one cast member to a state of Gollum-like covetousness) while "The Gilded Man" features a hunt for a rare stamp in South America??two more of Barks??s thrilling full-length adventure stories. But that??s less than half the volume! This volume also features ten of Barks??s smart and funny 10-pagers, including a double whammy of yarns co-starring Donald??s insufferable cousin ("Gladstone??s Usual Very Good Year" and "Gladstone??s Terrible Secret" ), as well as another nine of Barks??s rarely seen one-page Duck gags?¦ all painstakingly recolored to match the original coloring as exactly as possible, and supplemented with an extensive series of notes and behind-the-scenes essays by the foremost Duck experts in the world.
I have no idea of how this site manages to get this sort of info; there's more future Fantagraphics' stuff there, such as Pogo 2 and Mickey 4.
At any rate, we already had confirmation that Shacktown would serve as the third volume. This seems pretty legit.

As it turns out, that info concerning the second Donald volume was right on the money.
Scrooge's volume's cover has been slightly updated:
http://www.fantagraphics.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/af3f40b7c8b4f08e01741b6b22409fd4.jpg
(Compare with the initial cover Argonaut uploaded almost four months ago.)
If that quote's anything to go by, they could be reusing Lucas' intro from "Uncle Scrooge McDuck: His Life and Times" (1982).
That, or this is a brand new introduction, and he just used that phrase again =P

I like the new UNCLE $CROOGE font. I don't like the quote on the cover, but if it is necessary for selling more copies and keep this collection running, I don't care.

Scrooge's volume is taking its sweet time to hit the shelves, but Amazon already has Shacktown's cover up!

Actual news, everyone! Fantagraphics has finally updated Only A Poor Old Man's page, including the usual video preview and a 18-page downloadable excerpt. If history repeats itself, it won't take long for the actual book to become available after these 2 teasers have been released. Enjoy!
Of note is that it seems the book's no longer separated by Long Stories, 10 Pagers and 1-Page-Gags.

Is it then by chronological order?

What does "same treatment" mean? If it means: "Not separated by long stories"-what does THAT mean? Chronological order?

I meant that the other book also got its video preview and and 18-page preview, as seen here.
