Yahoo weather shows a high of 17 F and low of 5 F in Iowa City.
Gentle ribbing, thanks for the Gallery :-)

Yeah, well, it's warmer here than it was in Wisconsin! Darn near froze my
pitot tube off pre-flighting in Lake Geneva this morning...

You're welcome!

It's probably a waste of electrons explaining why I'm doing the Rogues
Gallery, but I'll try anyway.

Keep doing what your doing Jay... I enjoy your postings and
contributions to this newsgroup! I'm quite sure 99 % of the other
readers do as well....

I'll send you my little cessna pics and info when I get a little
time...

Fly safe...and Thanks!

In closing, for those who STILL think I'm "spamming" here, read this: If
any of you come to visit, well that's just great, I'll buy you a beer -- but
it really doesn't matter. Newsgroup participants have been (and will be) an
immeasurably small percentage of our guest-count.

In the meantime, if any of you want pictures of YOUR pride and joy posted
for the rest of us to see, send 'em to me at , and
I'll post 'em! :-)

Interesting explaination. The problem you have is that you have
something to contribute. This is not a place for anyone who has
anything to say or show. It's-like you said, a 2-dimensional place of
text only. If you bring some credibility to the table, or if you have
something of value to say, you will be challenged. That's the nature
of RAH. The biggest challengers are the little root worms who will
forever remain annonymous and who are jealous of your success,
whatever that might be. The majority of the people in RAH don't want
to learn anything, they want to argue, put others down and confront
anyone who may have a different idea than they do for entertainment.
Anyone who brings anything of value is "suspect."

I for one think you are doing a nice service to the pilots and
builders. Hang in there and post here whenever you feel like it.
It's free and it's unregulated although there are those here who wish
it were otherwise. Bravo to you Jay. Job well done.

Ed was right, it is spam. It is crossposted commercial spam guised as
update notices.

Another ****house lawyer!!

no commercial motive in his almost daily crossposted update notices.

Well... there is a slight difference, here. Jay isn't a commercial vendor
who suddenly appeared in the groups to shill his wares. He was
participating in these newsgroups for at least four years prior to his
purchasing the hotel. He's an aircraft owner, and has posted extensively
on his ownerships experiences and his opinions on a variety of topics.

He's doing us a favor by posting pictures of our airplanes on his web
space...not to mention collecting all the neat aviation videos all in one
spot.

True, it might be better if he made the "New Updates to the Rogues'
Gallery" postings on a biweekly or monthly basis, rather than every time a
plane is added. But I see his postings as enthusiasm, not commercialism.
He's having fun, and he wants to share it with the rest of us.

Over the years, we've had a number people who regularly posted fun stuff
here, but quit posting when the negativism became overwhelming. Let's not
add another to the list.

I, and obviously some others as well, see his daily update notices as
an advertising ploy. I agree with your biweekly suggestion but I also
I suggest that he should not crosspost them. If he posts update
notices to his website, he should post them to each newsgroup
separately and let the replies (pro, con, or indifferent) fall where
they may in each newsgroup.

Perhaps those "fun stuff" posters had commercial ulterior motives as
well, hence the eventual negativity.
