Here is a challenge to everyone who responds to this long winded reply of
mine.
Post an image with your reply and let's see what the group produces.


Wile I don't agree with every bit of what you said, I certainly
appreciate the tone. As a peace offering to any willing to accept it,
I'm attaching one of my favorite aviation pics. It isn't technically
perfect (it is an enlargement of a fraction of a film image made with
a normal lens), but it shows pre-Rammstein Frecce Tricolori making
smoke against some of the most dramatic clouds I've ever had in a
picture. I've UU encoded it, not because I'm backing off yEnc (I'm
not), but because this is an olive branch.

I'll also have a different kind of gift (a little later today, I hope)
for those who choose to accept it.

That's a nice image. very dramatic lighting.

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto

Verbosity snipped.

Uh, this is not a moderated group. It does not belong to you or
anyone else. It is Usenet. If someone wants to post in yenc, that is
his right. You have the right to not open it.

I know Andrew has been posting for about ten years. So what? I
appreciate his and everyone's posts, but it makes no one king of the
newsgroup just because he posts thousands of pictures over the years.

I have been following this ng for *more* than ten years. No, I do not
post very much, but I do have a good news reader that can down-load a
picture regardless its format, and I don't have to pay for bandwidth.
If you want to stay with Outlook Depressed, miss all of Plane's
excellent photographs, and continue to pay for bandwidth that you can
not or do not use, then you are free to do so. It is Usenet, not
Shiver's Net.

ott, hand.

(who realizes he ain't the most popular guy around, but does
appreciate all who post, regardless the format)

How on Earth do people (?) find themselves with so much time on their
hands (not to mention supposedly dial-up dollars) to continually post
so much - and so unnecessarily rudely - about so little? If this was a
moderated group, they'd have been chucked off ages ago just for that.

Baffled. Truly baffled.

TO THE GROUP.

You know folks this has always been a friendly group.

Oh yes a few agitators show up from time to time just like they have
this past few weeks.

But on the average it has always been a friendly group.

It's surprising that in the past few weeks just two or three
johnny come latelys have shown up with a desire to destroy this group.

HEY - LET'S BE HONEST.

They must be here to destroy it because they certainly are not
acting like reponsible adults who wish to build it up.

NOW ARE THEY.?????

I'll bet that these little assholes have jobs and that on the first day
of the job they were told there were certain standards and that they
were expected to follow those standards or else.

I'll bet they raised their children in a household that has certain
standards and that they expected those children to follow those
standards.

I'll bet they sleep beside a woman who has certain standards that have
to be met.... or else.

If they joined a social club, sports club, or any organization there
would be certain standards that they would be expected to adhere too.

Or else they would be told to leave and not come back.

In reality if people don't follow certain standards they get fired from
their jobs, divorced by their wives, or kicked out of the club.

But this is cyber space and instead of coming into the group and
realizing that the majority had settle the Yenc problem by declaring
this a Yenc free group years ago..... they have decided as a small
group
of relative unknowns and newcomers to be total assholes and disregard
the requests of the majority.

They have decided that their standards are more important than the
overall welfare of the group as a whole.

People like Andrew who has been here for ten years posting many many
thousands of pictures can't hold a candle to these guys.

People like Andrew are strictly dirt under their fingernails and the
way they behave is this group is more important than anybody and
everybody else.

But within a few months they will disappear just like every other
asshole who has tried to disrupt this group has disappeared.

They say they won't but we all know they will.

They will realize that no matter how much they mouth off, or try to ram
Yenc down everybodies throat that the following they are hoping for did
not materialize.

And when they realize they have few friends here and that the majority
is not responding to their postings in a positive manner they will go
and this group can get back to normal.

And to you the small group who are disrupting this newsgroup right now
I point out the obvious that you could have come in with your best foot
forward, telling us a little bit about who you are, what your interests
are. You would have seen that Yenc was frowned upon, and for all that
software you talk about I presume that if Yenc can be turned on it can
also be turned off.

Now that would have been the mature way to join the group, and if you
had done that you guys would have been immediately welcomed into this
little group of airplane enthusiasts with open arms.

Instead you have decided that for a short time you will be the assholes
of the group.

And guys I just can't understand why you take that attitude and act
this way when the absolute majority here would rather welcome you with
open arms as new friends.

But that's a decision you guys made.

SO GO AHEAD AND ENJOY YOURSELF.

When you get tired of little or no attention or response, you will
disappear just like every other asshole has disappeared before you,
because you will be ignored just like every other asshole before you
has been ignored.

You guys came here with no friends and you will leave here with no
friends. And that is a decision you guys made all on your own.

Well, in the U.K. we have what is called "broadband", and we use pounds
rather than dollars...

You have a choice. This is a very well behaved ng compared to many and,
regardless of nationality, we have a common interest and, between us, an
incredible pool of knowledge and photographs which we're happy to share.

You can make your own choice as to participation.

So come back to the group then and tell us all why you didn't follow
one of the other posting guidelines that has fallen by the wayside.

Yunno the one about trimming posts.
