Aircraft Museum in Denmark Den Danske Flysamling-Stauning-P5310.nzb (1/1)

I wouldn't go so far as to describe it as bad photography anything else...
It's just different levels of comfort that people have.
In the past I have played with many of the titles they talk about and I will
give them full credit for their capabilities. However in a public NG that is
hopefully intended to be open to everyone, I don't see why they insist that
their way is the ONLY way. If it was closed NG with moderation then I have
no problem with Yenc or any other type of protocol. The premise being that
if you want to play in that closed NG then you play by their rules or not at
all. However in an open newsgroup the dynamics are a bit different. I know
that when I post an image I want as many people as possible to see it. So
why would you eliminate a huge portion of your viewing public. It's the
same as me handing a client a CD of images that I took for them; but rather
than using JPG I handed them in PSD or raw format. Then when the client
complains I turn around and suggest a new viewer. Not a smart combo
especially when I could have just used JPG instead, and saved both of us the
headache.

I agree Andrew. These idiots that feel everyone should hold them as king of
the newsgroup should get a life. I prefer Outlook Express. Whenever I run
into the YENC idiots I just put them in the KILL file and forget about
their bad photography..

Why not share the images with those of us who prefer the much maligned
but effective MS Outlook Express? There are dozens of readers and E-mail
programs out there. Yes the other programs may have greater capabilities
and are many times more powerful, however for the very casual user of the
newsgroups MS OE is more than adequate. Speaking for myself, over and
over again I still prefer OE. I strongly suspect that the vast majority
of PC users, have a similar opinion, whether they admit it or not...

Thank you.... Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be delivered.

But just out of simple curiousity.... what's wrong with just a plain
old simple JPG that everyone in the world is familiar with and has
worked faithfully for all these years.

I mean a million or more postings to this group can't be wrong.


Why not get a newsreader like xnews which Yenc friendly
the it won't matter how they post

Well Andrew it's very good to see you back.

I thought you had gone forever.

Your comments above are hitting the nail squarly on the head.

I'm amazed in some of the other groups where the posters insists that
you march to their drum or else.

In my case ( with my Macintosh ) I use an old operating system and
older software.

All of these new Mac browsers and newsreaders will not work with my
system.

I know I'm behind the times but there you go.

I ask politely if they could post in a normal fashion but if they say
no then since I will never ever get to see their shots I just put the
poster in the kill filter and be done with it.

After all if they don't me and a few others to see their pictures and
admire and appreciate their efforts then that's okay with me.

I can't miss what I can't see.

Anyways.... Good to see your back.

I was a holdout using OS 9 until succumbing around the first of the year
with Panther on my G4.

Now that I look back, I wish I would have switched a couple of years ago...

Shiver,
To be honest I never really left, although a few months ago a tale went out
about my apparent death. Happily apart from 30lbs too much around the
middle, I am reasonable okay.... However my shooting and posting situation
has changed rather dramaticaly. These days though I still work in pro photo
retail, I work on the side in a volounteer capacity with several police
department's aviation sections, additionaly my tax information is on file
with several airlines. I actaully have 3 major shoots scheduled at the end
of the month and early into July. Of course when this happens I go into
hyper time frenzy mode. As in everybody wants the shots, and everybody
wants it now all the while my manager in my real job is looking darkly at me
and hell even the cats are trying to avoid me.

Attached is an example from last year...

I was in the back taking the pictures of course.
