Jay with all due respect it's not the name.

You can call it anything you want.

I know you and I don't see eye to eye - But in my opinion you
have sunk to a new low for which you should be ashamed of.

Your in this newsgroup every day as an INNKEEPER, who is a pilot,
and you are here daily to actively promoting your business. That's
why you always have your business addy as part of your SIG file.

When I visit your website and click on the COOL STUFF link the heading
of the page says this.

The Alexis Park Inn & Suites is far more than a hotel!**
In many ways we are more like an aviator's dream come true,
with historical memorabilia, photos, and collectibles literally EVERYWHERE.**
Over time we have become nearly equal parts museum and hotel! **

Not everyone who visits your website is into aviation Jay.

I gotta tell you that posting a bunch of pictures of airplanes sent to
you by aviation enthusiasts is one thing and in the overall scheme of
things will offend nobody.

Posting videos of crashes where people are being killed at that instant
is quite something else.

I would think that the American families of those innocent passengers
on that fatefull flight of the B-52 that cartwheeled into the ground
because of the stupidity and arrogance of the pilot, may be getting
just a little tired of running into that piece of video when they
happen to be surfing the web looking for something totally unrelated,
like a room to rent in IOWA City ......

Don't you.....???????????

In my opinion there is absolutely no difference between you as an
INNKEEPER promoting your business here with death videos and that
guy promoting the aircrash video site over in Europe, who has been
spamming his message about educational videos into a dozen
newsgroups these past few weeks.

Please tell the group..... your peers and friends, as well as the rest
of us from around the world, just why you feel it is necessary to show
a laser guided bomb killing a bunch of people on the ground, some of
whom might be just absoluty innocent bystanders, and just how that
promotes your business which is renting rooms to the general public.

When someone visits your website looking for general information as to
what sort of services you provide, is the below quoted message really
the message that you want any potential customers to get.

This incredible video, taken from an F-16 that is dropping a 500 lb.bomb
on a safe-house in Fallujah, Iraq, shows how flexible and precise laser-guided
munitions have become.* As the house is targeted, and the bomb in en route,
dozens of insurgents run outside, on their way to join a nearby battle against
U.S. Marines.** The pilot moves his laser-designator onto these new, moving
targets -- with impressive results.*


Get as mad as you want Jay...... and call me anything you want, but ask
yourself this one question.

Is business really that good, that as an INNKEEPER you can afford to
offend even one potential customer, who after viewing what your posting
on your website, will decide to take their business to another hotel.
