The first paragraph is reflective of one school of thought for sure (many would correctly say "old school"). Not all hold to it but a high percentage do. ^^ Really, if you want to get into the fansubbing circles it is best to slowly but surely watch, observe and keep your mouth shut for a good long time. The fansubbing community (like any community) has their own ins and outs, slang, pecking order, internal wars (mostly for fun but often serious), philosophies of how things should be done (with various levels of intensity of conviction and ways of expressing it), etc. In many ways large numbers they are specialists who are usually slow to let in any Tom, Dick or Harry into their circles. But I hafta admit I like 'em.
But the second paragraph is really spot on as far as fansubbers of any sort are concerned.
