So long

It's time to say so long to all the of the good people on this
newsgroup. I've met some terrific people here & had a lot of fun
sharing my photo's. Since I'm now retired, I don't get to shoot
anymore. Most everybody has either dropped to lurker mode or just plain
left. I'm afraid it's time for me too. It's been a blast.

If anybody feels the urge to contact me, they can always do so at

Dale, I am sorry to that you no longer get to shoot anymore. I hope
that is just the lack of aviation targets and not that you are dropping
photography completely as a hobby. It would be sad to put that kit out
to pasture.

Regardless, I have always enjoyed all of your contributions to the
group. Thanks for those.

I think an appropriate farewell to alt.binaries.pictures.aviation would
be a rerun of the video of your last day at LAX.

I'm not giving up shooting, just airplanes. Thank you all for such kind
words.

The problem is usenet is about dead. I can't really justify the cost of
Giganews anymore for two or three groups. The other problem is that I
have so many pictures I would like to edit & post, but I just don't have
the time with all of my other hobbies going on. Here is a link to my
most time consuming one:

Someday I will eventually get around to them, but there are over 40,000
to go through. I need to separate the wheat from the chaff first. I will
look around for a free usenet app, but for now, as of the end of the
month I'm gone.

So, as requested by Mr Savageduck (I don't even know your name), here is
a link to Dale & Ray's last hurrah at LAX.

That makes sense.

The problem is usenet is about dead. I can't really justify the cost of
Giganews anymore for two or three groups. The other problem is that I

Yup! I find myself returning to old stuff to rework.

Someday

I will eventually get around to them, but there are over 40,000 to go
through. I need to separate the wheat from the chaff first. I will look
around for a free usenet app, but for now, as of the end of the month
I'm gone.

There aren't too many free usenet providers which provide free binary
groups, but as you know that hasn't stopped folks from showing their
work in non-binary groups such as alt.photography and rec.photo.digital
using Dropbox and other Cloud storage services, like so;
https://db.tt/HrtYe2HG

That way you could subscribe to one of the free non-binary usenet
servers, continue to use Thunderbird, and get some free storage on
Dropbox

So, as requested by Mr Savageduck (I don't even know your name), here
is a link to Dale & Ray's last hurrah at LAX.

Thanks for that.
....and the name is Leonard.

Someday I will eventually get around to them, but there are over 40,000
to go through. I need to separate the wheat from the chaff first. I will
look around for a free usenet app, but for now, as of the end of the
month I'm gone.

The next best thing to free would be a block account. For $10 you can
get 25GB which never expires and there are no maintenance fees. Once a
person pays the initial ten bucks access is essentially free.

Free:
Posting
Headers
Reading (Well, if you get through 25GB of text I'd buy the next one.)

One reason to recommend UseNet-News is very few incompletes. I also
use Astraweb for other reasons but unfortunately can't say the same
for them, plus they charge for 20% of headers. Retention on both is
around 6 years now.

To round out the sales pitch, UseNet-News has the most options of the
two with 10 sizes available from 2GB - 1TB. Astraweb has three and is
about 1/2 price for a 1TB block.
