Is picture posting not permitted on this group as I would like to post
some pictures I took from a recent flight down the Hudson Corridor
(pre-Lidle)?


No it is not acceptable to post photos on a text newsgroup. Most servers
would strip them off anyway. There is a binary newsgroup associated with
this group but I don't have a clue as to what it is.

The easier way is to just put them on a website, and then just post
the URL. If you don't have your own webspace, Flickr, Photobucket
or one of the others works well enough.

Most ISP accounts include some server space for a personal web page, which
can be as complex as will fit the allocated disk space or as simple as a
list or display of your latest pictures.

The resulting URL tends to be a bit long and convoluted, but TinyURL solves
that problem rather nicely. It has good instructions, is easy and
intuitive, and is located at http://www.TinyURL.com/
