J3, how many files are you uploading? just to know!

Too many, that's for sure.

Kind of selfish and inconsiderate to the many other great posters here.

JMHO,

J3 (JRW), thanks for the post! It seems a few people here are too hung
up on how the files were posted, instead of the fact of what a
wonderful series of images this is. I think they're looking up the
wrong end of a gift horse - it's the only way you could see something
here you didn't like!

Ditto, it's nice to see something fresh. Unfortunately some people can't
view the flood because their newsreaders can't decode it and they won't
upgrade. They become rude, arrogant and obnoxious with the name calling.
Don't let them get to you. Sometimes they just start up for their own
bazaar selfish sense of entertainment.

Even though I'm a supporter of file types other than plain jane vanilla
JPG's, even I must admit that the different servers we use are having a
difficult time trying to digest the flood size.

I use Giggle News (Giganews) and prior to the flood all I saw were at best
a dozen or so replies/new posts combined daily. I know more is being posted
but I fail to see all of them. Occasionally a software reset brings a few
more into view. Anyone else experience this?

With the idiosyncrasies of the servers not to forget "some" people here, it
might be best to hold back on the amount of files your uploading at one
time.

Another idea might be to limit uploads to a hundred or so teasers and if
anyone wants more just email in ZIP form to them. That would keep the
servers happy and should ward off anymore people from screaming "witch"
around here. Plus, emails unlike news server posts generally get through
without loosing any content.

Excuse me while I re-adjust my asbestos underwear. I want to be prepared
when the flaming begins here. Anyone got a used Apollo heat shield for
sale? That might be better.
