Intent to Flood - NASA Project Mercury

(in article ): This weekend I intend on posting 334 images (324 MB) of NASA's Mercury Program. The quality of the images varies, but they are the high resolution I have been able to find I intend on utilizing the RAR and PAR method. While some may prefer JPG, I have chosen not to post JPGs. As some files are very large untilizing RAR & PARs allow the reciever to repair any fragment files. There will be 19 RAR files and 13 PAR (40%) PAR files for a total size of 380 MB Enjoy Thanks for the pix. I've got 'em all now. |

Then why should anyone be interested in your opinion? Certainly not me. I have no problem with that... 'cause _I_ am not the one attempting to control what people post, when, where, and how. The opinions of those misguided enough to both insist on using MSOE, and, more importantly, to insist that all others live with the limits that MSOE has, are contemptible. I do not respect them. I do not respect those who have them. I do not care _what_ they say. I will not be moved. You no like? Me no care. |

NASA Project Mercury hi-rez photos

As a suggestion: There is an* underused newsgroup* which still falls as a "legal" place to post your flood. *The newsgroup is: alt.binaries.pictures.misc* Maybe this is a better alternative for your new and reposts that others want, since you insist on posting high resolution photos. Just a suggestion. Does that mean hi-resolution photos are now off-topic? I'm not being a smartass (except to suggest that maybe we should rename the group a.b.p.aviation.low-res g), but first you have to define high resolution. Bigger than your screen size? Bigger than mine? What about someone with a 22" widescreen lcd? Are they "standard" resolution? Considering the number of, ahh... not completely state of the art lurkers out there, what if someone else complains that anything greater than 800x600 is hi-rez? It boils down to "hi-rez is what I think it is," which gets problematic. How about J3 includes a special tag like "J3 flood," or "J3 winrar post?" That would make it easy to filter out the post. Or you could just killfile J3. |

If you don't mind a suggestion, might it be a good idea to add something to your subject line for the post? Perhaps "J3 flood," or "J3 winrar post." That way the easily-upset have a very simple method to avoid being offended by your work. |

'Cause I like people to LOOK at my scans, not just collect them for the sake of collecting ... When people flood, I generally ask them if they also race thru a museum to view everything ... To me, photos & scans are to be viewed, examined, enjoyed, savored ... flooding is counter to all of that ... I don't killfile but I will delete all your headers w/out d/ling ... Gee, that wasn't so hard now, was it? Sj, this may not have occured to you, but there are other reasons to collect stuff like this that don't relate to "buy them, trade them, get them ALL!" For example, if you are a modeler, any high-resolution photo of a potential subject is always useful, even if you don't get around to modeling that subject for a while. Enjoy the herbal tea, your patchouli, and I'll send someone over to wipe your fevered brow, while the rest of us grab the photos. P.S. I don't even want to know how you "savor" a photograph, and I'm not about to ask! Heh. |

Surely with their gargantuan IQs and geek skills, they can learn how to produce an index file. gdp |
