*sigh*

To make "alt.binaries.pictures.aviation" a viable alternative, all 77
participants would have to re-post their pictures every four days.

4 days??? I'm using the same newsgroup server (mchsi) and am lucky to see
pictures on a.b.p.a. over 2 days old. I have missed quite a few 'Hangar
Queen' pictures because I don't check these newsgroups daily. ;-(

If the 77 people would upload all of their pictures every 4 days to
a.b.p.a., it would probably reduce the archive to a day or 2 at most.

I enjoy browsing through Jay's site. Just looking at the rec pictures, it is
hard to even tell that the main site is for his Inn.

Another disadvantage of the binaries newsgroups vs a web site is bandwidth
utilization. Somebody posts a picture to the newsgroup, it gets distributed
(transmitted) all over the world. Two people download the picture, but it has
still been transmitted a gazillion times.

Upload to the web, it just sits there. Two people download the picture, it
gets sent twice. Maybe less, if the people are from the same (large) ISP,
which caches the site once the first person requested it.

And he, unlike anonymous trolls, seems to be a polite, courteous person.

Having met Jay at Sun-n-Fun, I'll second that motion.
