When did this group change from?
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. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the corresponding state of mind. Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false or not universally applicable or acceptable. So what is bigotted about asking a question? It is not that that is what I want I am asking a question when did this group go from enthusiests to people posting work from web government web sites? I could care less if J-3 posted every photo from Nasa USAF and the USN it is up to him. If he wants to waste his time that is his choice. If he wants to be some use to this ( What used to be a great group of enthusiest) Groupe he should pick up a camera and take some photos and flood the group with his own works so we can all praise him.

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. This same argument was made over at a.b.p.animals on several occasions. There is a group called a.b.p.animals.original - maybe the same applies for aviation. To continue the same argument here... where does it say the images have to be original? As long as they are on-topic, there should be no problem. As has been noted on .animals, not all of the images shown on this group have ever been original - you might want to talk to Mitchell about original works - he's been posting here for some years now and he's not the only one. Also, if it is original work, you are placing that on a public-access newsgroup; therefore, you have little say in what is actually done to your images after they are posted - how do you prove that you took them? There is no copyright info attached; nobody can contact the OP (both Original Poster and Original Producer) to ask for permission. Do you really think people are simple looking at these images? I have collected litterally thousands of images over the years - no way of telling who the OP is or was. |

Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false or not universally applicable or acceptable. A bigot is someone with such short-sighted views that they discriminate and denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with them. So what is bigotted about asking a question?

You haven't made a credible case yet as to why it matters if a poster does his own photography, posts scans, or posts pictures from some other place. Your views here are so strident and so truculant that besides being a bigot, I see you're also a misanthrope. You and the others deserve each other because, in case you haven't noticed, you've defined a clique and are trying to drive off those who don't agree by negative peer pressure. That is wrong, inconsiderate, and downright rude.
