When I first discovered this group it was a place for
aviation enthusiasts to share their work. A place to show
your photos and a place to share original work. When did
this group change from that to a group that you flood with
photos from other sources? Must be all those young computer
geeks that spend so much time in front of the computer that
they don't have time nor the talent to get a camera and take
some photos of their own. Soon when all us who still shoot
are dead and gone all we will have is others posting our
work and all the originality will be gone It is a shame.

What difference does it make if an OP posts his or her own
photos or whether they post scans or pictures gleaned from
other places? It seems to me that so long as they are
on-topic and have something to do with aviation in the
broadest sense, why isn't that OK? This bigoted view reminds
me of the change from aeronautical engineer to aerospace
engineer in deference to the space race, so why is it bad
to post pictures of NASA vehicles so long as they're of
reasonable size and in JPEG format? If you want only original
works, I think you'll find that the amount of content posted
will drop off dramatically to the detriment of the group.

I see your still bitching about other peoples views.

Kinda makes you the Bigot doesn't it.

Not hardly. What I'm doing is challenging the very bigotry you
seem to be defending, including your own cheap shots.
