JMHO, JRW J3 (JRW), thanks for the post! It seems a few people here are too hung up on how the files were posted, instead of the fact of what a wonderful series of images this is. I think they're looking up the wrong end of a gift horse - it's the only way you could see something here you didn't like! RedPenguin |

I think they're looking up the wrong end of a gift horse - it's the only way you could see something here you didn't like! RedPenguin Ditto, it's nice to see something fresh. Unfortunately some people can't view the flood because their newsreaders can't decode it and they won't upgrade. They become rude, arrogant and obnoxious with the name calling. Don't let them get to you. Sometimes they just start up for their own bazaar selfish sense of entertainment. Even though I'm a supporter of file types other than plain jane vanilla JPG's, even I must admit that the different servers we use are having a difficult time trying to digest the flood size. I use Giggle News (Giganews) and prior to the flood all I saw were at best a dozen or so replies/new posts combined daily. I know more is being posted but I fail to see all of them. Occasionally a software reset brings a few more into view. Anyone else experience this? With the idiosyncrasies of the servers not to forget "some" people here, it might be best to hold back on the amount of files your uploading at one time. Another idea might be to limit uploads to a hundred or so teasers and if anyone wants more just email in ZIP form to them. That would keep the servers happy and should ward off anymore people from screaming "witch" around here. Plus, emails unlike news server posts generally get through without loosing any content. Excuse me while I re-adjust my asbestos underwear. I want to be prepared when the flaming begins here. Anyone got a used Apollo heat shield for sale? That might be better. |

Where was the unanimous YES? And no one would say yes to 5100 files all at once. That is excessive and also pushes other posts off the server. I stand by that it was inconsiderate. Again, what was the rush??? No one was dying in wait to receive the photos. That is NOT saying that they were not appreciated, but he could have flooded reasonably, that's all. |

No there isn't. He said he was about to post them, and asked if people would be interested. 3 people replied to the post with a yes please. Where was the unanimous YES? Subject: Intent to Flood - NASA Shuttle Images (HiRes) 8/8/08 10:58am And no one would say yes to 5100 files all at once. He said he was going to flood, and nobody said "slowly please". That is excessive and also pushes other posts off the server. I stand by that it was inconsiderate. Again, what was the rush??? They're not at once, I'm seeing them spread over a few days. No one was dying in wait to receive the photos. That is NOT saying that they were not appreciated, but he could have flooded reasonably, that's all. It's a lot easier if they're all available at once. No doubt some parts will need reposts, if we have to wait two weeks to get the whole lot, that could become tedious. -- http://www.petersparrots.com http://www.insanevideoclips.com http://www.petersphotos.com Never raise your hands to your kids.

325 data files (rar) and 133 pars so you rebuild any rar which arrive
incomplete. All in ince uncompressed you will have just short of 5100 images broken down by mission number (ie STS-1, STS-2, etc) On 10 Aug 2008 11:58:43 GMT, Abc wrote: J3, how many files are you uploading? just to know! |
