Thanks for the support, Roger. I was truly taken aback by the ferocity of
the opposition to the Rogue's Gallery announcements.


Meaning no offense Jay, but
= if you think you drew ferocity on the NG scale of things, perhaps
you need to recalibrate? I could provide you with some examples *g*
but if you were truly taken aback, and would like to "get it" I'll
explain; you came across as thumbing your nose at folks and newsgroup
traditions, which is fine for someone whose goal in posting is
apparently to be as obnoxious as possible -- but puzzling in someone
who is trying to run a hospitality business targeted at pilots, and
whose goals in posting appear to be to share his love of flying and
to build goodwill for his business.

And it tends to draw a hostile response. Hope this helps.

My problem is that my days are incredibly disjointed, yet filled to
over-flowing. As a result, I'll spend an hour adding someone's pix to the
gallery -- in 5 minute increments, spread over half a day. For me to
actually remember doing this a week or a month later is difficult.


Why do you need to remember for 10 minutes, let alone a week or a month?
Just type a line into a text file after you do each addition.

Now, true, I can do like Sydney (and others) have suggested, and paste the
person's name, etc., into a text file, for future updates. But that just
adds one more level of complexity I really don't need to an endeavor that
nets me nothing but ever-diminishing personal satisfaction.


I'm sorry you find the personal satisfaction diminishing -- perhaps
something could be done to share the work between several people,
or to set up a site where people could upload their own stuff. Just
thoughts (obviously I'm unreconstructed at my attempts to solve problems)

But as for complexity, this is the part some of us just don't get.
You're typing text into a file. When you're done, you either click
"post message" or "save as file". How does it add complexity to
click one and not the other? Seems very odd.

Cheers,
Sydney
