Or upload them to Rapidshare or Yousendit *and just post the download
link*. That's just as simple as uploading them to a newsgroup, since he
already has them in .rar files.

I think once is enough. To request multiple reposts, I also feel is a bit
over the top.


I agree - Rapidshare is a more appropriate venue - it will retain the files
for up to three months without any downloads (if nobody downloads for three
months, RS will delete the files, otherwise, they will stay there) -
unlikely to be that much of a gap.

If J3 posts not only the link, but also a preview image, it would give
people an opportunity to see what he's talking about.


Now you're talking ... good idea ...

I've occasionally used both & it works fine,
esp. w/ a preview of what's available ...

Well it's up to J3. We'll see. ))

When he initially asked, the first five responses were yes.

I ignore them too, but other people get buried in the avalanche. I came on
the other day and found seceral thousand posts. I wasn't about to look at
them all, to figure out if there was one to look at. I hate using the kill
file, but, I will if I have too.

If someone asks, and the majority of people say please don't, then why do
it? who is this site for, just for 5 people who say please do? This isn't
sharing, it amounts to a hijacking of the site.

How about he said them directly to the people that say they want them?

I say again, if you don't want his pics, delete, skip, ignore them.
Stop bloody moaning.


They're not his pics. They are not in picture format (all the parts
have to
be downloaded, and then assembled in order, before the images can be
seen).
Picture format means files with extensions like .jpg; .jpeg; .bmp; .gif;
.tif etc. That is what this group is for - pictures. If J3 wishes to
post
the .rar format, then maybe he should post them in
alt.binaries.mulitmedia.aviation.

There is no point in people having an incomplete rar. Reposts are
necessary.

That's not moaning and look at your own mail with all the "instructions"
on what to do and not to do. Now who's NET COPPING?

What?

He posted, it's done and that should be the end of it.

You said in a previous mail three or four people said go ahead and post.
Well now it's double that, not to have more of the same.

that was me what said that, and there are plenty who want them. Just
ignore his posts if you wish.

The first five; from then on, it was all people who didn't want J3 to post
in anything other than the normal formats for this group.

Then they shouldn't take so bloody long to reply.

Anyway, if 5 people (at least) want them, it doesn't matter how many
don't.

A single blonde pregnant girl goes to the grocery store. A couple that she knows notices she's pregnant.
The lady asks her, "Whose baby is it?"
The blonde says, "Well, I don't know they are going to do blood tests, but I think it's mine."

So a TV channel shouldn't air anything unless more than 50% of people
want to see it?

Amanpreet was overheard at the hospital angrily say, "My wife just delivered twins!!!"
A passerby said, "So? You should be happy about that. Why are you so angry?"
"I want to know who the son of a bitch is that's the father of the second kid!"

This is not a TV channel. If you're happy that the tail wags the dog, so
be it.

What makes you think each post has to be wanted by most of the group?
I doubt that is true of ANY post in here.

You are comparing apples and oranges here. There is a big difference between a "few" photos and a flood of photos.
There were other newsgroup options available that would have been on-topic.
An almost disused newsgroup such as alt.binaries.pictures.misc would have been the perfect solution.
But what transpired was selfishness and I'll post them here, because I can and screw everyone else.
So I guess just for spite there will be more of this nonsense. The highland laddie will be at the top sining, I have "six month retention" so screw you all.
These guys never learned how to play in the sandbox. And will never learn. Good luck to them. What goes around comes around.....I can wait until sand gets kicked in their face...
