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

They're not his pics.

Ths pics he posted then. Pedant.

They are not in picture format (all the parts have to
be downloaded, and then assembled in order, before the images can be seen).

I agree jpeg would have been easier. But for that number of photos, I
made the effort to resurrect them.

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.

Multimedia refers to VIDEO, as opposed to PICTURES.

A rushed father is flying through the Toys-R-Us aisles before Christmas looking for a present for his daughter. He spies the display of various Barbie dolls, all in individual boxes. Ever mindful of a volume discount, he approaches a nearby employee and asks her, "Does Barbie come with Ken?"
The employee smiles and tells him, "No, Barbie only comes with G.I Joe. She just fakes it with Ken."

At great personal risk, I need to request a repost of the following
parts that only partially came through: 59, 93, 94, 95, 120, 121, 198,
199, 231, 232, 250, 251, 259, 304, 305.

I am using winrar to decode. Is this too much missing data for the
pars to reconstruct, or do I somehow have to tell winrar they are
there? I have only gotten about 300 pictures out of this so far.


Might I suggest that those files be uploaded to www.yousendit.com
Then they can be downloaded, whenever.
Just a suggestion rather than another hug post.

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.

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?

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.

However, on a different subject; do you have any idea what's happened to
a.b.p.animals lately? I've seen just two posts there in the past week.

They are pictures when you decode them.

I see 50. Many may be crossposts, do you have a filter?

During the Great Depression, there was a man who walked into a bar one day. He went up to the bartender and said, "Bartender, I'd like to buy the house a round of drinks."

The bartender said, "That's fine, but we're in the middle of the Depression, so I'll need to see some money first."

The guy pulled out a huge wad of bills and set them on the bar. The bartender can't believe what he's seeing. "Where did you get all that money?" asked the bartender.

"I'm a professional gambler," replied the man.

The bartender said, "There's no such thing! I mean, your odds are fifty-fifty at best, right?"

"Well, I only bet on sure things," said the guy.

"Like what?" asked the bartender.

"Well, for example, I'll bet you fifty dollars that I can bite my right eye," he said.

The bartender thought about it. "Okay," he said.

So, the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it. "Aw, you screwed me," said the bartender, and paid the guy his $50.

"I'll give you another chance. I'll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye," said the stranger.

The bartender thought again and said, "Well, I know you're not blind, I mean, I watched you walk in here. I'll take that bet." So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye.

"Aw, you screwed me again!" protested the bartender.

"That's how I win so much money, bartender. I'll just take a bottle of your best scotch in lieu of the fifty dollars," said the man.

With that, the guy went to the back room and spent the better part of the night playing cards with some of the locals. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbled up to the bar. Drunk as a skunk, he said, "Bartender, I'll give you one last chance. I'll bet you five hundred dollars that I can stand on this bar on one foot and **** into that whiskey bottle on that shelf behind you without spilling a drop."

The bartender once again pondered the bet. The guy couldn't even stand up straight on two feet, much less one. "Okay, you're on," he said.

The guy climbed up on the bar, stood on one leg, and began ****ing all over the place. He hit the bar, the bartender, himself, but not a drop made it into the whiskey bottle.

The bartender was ecstatic. Laughing, the bartender said, "Hey pal, you owe me five hundred dollars!"

The guy climbed down off the bar and said, "That's okay. I just bet each of the guys in the card room a thousand bucks each that I could **** all over you and the bar and still make you laugh!"

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

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

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?

During the Great Depression, there was a man who walked into a bar one
day. He went up to the bartender and said, "Bartender, I'd like to buy the
house a round of drinks."

I thought about that, but no filter - I've just seen 16 posts and replied to
them. All last week, I saw maybe three posts.

By the way, I love this bartender joke - brilliant!

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.

I've always said that if you are not part of the solution, you are part
of the problem. I think Rapidshare or yousendit are the best way for
these. And you are right, longer retention so more folks can grab them
if they like.
I saw very few posts from others during the flood.....that says enough
for me.

Many have asked for jpg's but I guess he don't want to post them...oh well.
