Intent to Flood - NASA Project Mercury

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

Please don't!

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 J3 and his fellow marauders would simply post a thumbnail index of their
images, anyone could decide to D/L the files - or not. Surely with their
gargantuan IQs and geek skills, they can learn how to produce an index file.

Strangely enough, that approach has been used, quite successfully, in other
newsgroups.

I propose any picture (this is the sticky part, like you said) over 500KB
should have the letters HR, with a space on each side of them, as part of
the picture title.

Of course, that probably should remain as a guideline, so it does not kick a
picture 20 or 30 KB over the limit, when the other pictures of the series
are nicely under the limit, whatever size is agreed upon

Also, FL could be a designation for any group of pictures that is part of a
flood, defined as any group of pictures over (30 ??) pictures.

Just an idea that could help resolve the current strife.

You don't need a special tag. He put the filename in the subject.
Filter on .rar or .par in the subject header.

Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change ready.

Please don't . . .

You do not respect anyone on this post, obviously.

Although the pictures were great in your last flood, I think (considering
all the comments to that one) a lot of people out there would appreciate it
much more if you just picked some nice stuff and post that here.
Anyway, I'd prefer you not flooding here. Thanks.
