I will be reposting J3's Apollo 13 pix, using .JPG files, and with .PAR2 parity files so that any missing/corrupted files can be reconstructed by those who have .PAR/.PAR2 capability. Those who don't have such a capability need not download the .PAR2s. Those who can download the ..JPGs without problems also need not download the files. I will be posting using yENC. Whingers can kiss my ass. There are 187 pix and 9 .PAR2 files, making a total of 196 files. I will be posting all 196 over a period of 4-5 days, starting with the .JPGs. That will be about 40-50 files per day. Those who don't like that can kiss my ass.



I fail to under the motivation of people who take pride in irritating others and starting arguments in binary groups.



Hmm. Finally something from someone I respect. However... _I_ was not the one who declared war. And _I_ was not the one, who when offered peace, declined.

This is NOT about WAR. It's about respect.  J3 thinks that 99% are happy with these posts, evidently he does not read replies.
J3 has posted some wicked JPG's in the past, why all of a sudden he wants to post super large files is beyond me.

Many have asked for either  thumbnail indexes so they can choose what they want to down load, or just post jpegs.

thumbnail indexes are not that hard to make (www.irfanview.com).

I am definitely not anti J3, but when lots complain, it's time to listen, for the sake of the group and not for individual pride.
