Your opinions, please!

no anonymous pics, I can see pics of planes anywhere
speed is fine for me, even on dial up
no email postings, I'm sure they already get enough spam

Our new rec.aviation "Rogue's Gallery" of pictures.

Since our new website is obviously becoming more popular with you folks
every day, I need some advice on how to proceed:

1. Should I include "anonymous" posters? I have received pictures from
several folks who do not wish to use their real names, have their "N"
numbers visible, or have their home bases publicized. To me this seems
bizarre, since the whole point of "showing off" your plane is to "show
off" -- and how can you do *that* anonymously? Still, I've posted a
couple of them, but I'm not sure of how to proceed. It's YOUR page --
what
do you folks think?

2. The page is slowing waaaay down. I really like the format of the page,
but as it grows it's getting really slow to open. How's it running for
you?
Too slow? Okay, yet? How slow is too slow?

3. Should I include email addresses? I've not included them, thus far --
but I thought it might be valuable to have an email "directory" of
participants?

Thanks for your help!

I agree with Jim's suggestions. I get plenty of spam already, so don't
need my email address out there one more place. Speed is OK, but I've
got cable. You could always break up the page into multiple sections as
it grows, so the number of thumbnails to be loaded is kept manageable.

And I agree with the anonymity issue - yes, there's always a concern for
privacy, but if there's no name or location, it's just a picture of an
airplane.
