Not hardly. What I'm doing is challenging the very bigotry you seem to be defending, including your own cheap shots. well the advice was free but if you think they were cheap, I look forward to your payment. My payment is pointing out that many people in this NG have outmoded ideas and that promoting an obsolete standard for posting amounts to blind hatred and bigotry towards those who challenge it. As for you, you made your own bed, now lie in it. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

When did this group change from?
Alan Erskine added these comments in the current discussion du
jour ... To continue the same argument here... where does it say the images have to be original? As long as they are on-topic, there should be no problem. As has been noted on .animals, not all of the images shown on this group have ever been original - you might want to talk to Mitchell about original works - he's been posting here for some years now and he's not the only one. Also, if it is original work, you are placing that on a public-access newsgroup; therefore, you have little say in what is actually done to your images after they are posted - how do you prove that you took them? There is no copyright info attached; nobody can contact the OP (both Original Poster and Original Producer) to ask for permission. Do you really think people are simple looking at these images? I have collected litterally thousands of images over the years - no way of telling who the OP is or was. You are mostly right about copyrights. Copyrights do not protect ideas, they protect the expression of ideas. So, photographs are expressions of the idea of capturing a particular subject to a permanent media. A copyright is automatically granted to the photographer. Now, it could happen that there are many photographers taking almost identical photos as you have. They all get an automatic copyright. Now, if one intends to defend their copyright against infringers, one must register the expression of the idea with the copyright office or a court case cannot be heard. So, you are basically right that original pictures posted here effectively enter the public domain because most/all posters do not feel the need for formal copyright registration and thus let their pictures go. Nothing wrong with that. What is wrong here is the notion that only original work is allowed. If the collective group really wants to do that, it should modify the FAQs and enforce them vigorously. But, they should also be prepared for a huge drop in good content being posted here if alternate sources of pictures are forbidden. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

Sorry for the trolling Jerry. it's the beer. YoU uNderStAnd dontcha? I had a Mo-Par once. Bellhousing broke. Been driving something else since. Moe, Larry cheese! Moe, Larry cheese! I don't evangelize cars made by my company. Everyone is free to buy whatever car(s) they like. That's part of the great freedoms we enjoy in this country. My only comment on buying any car from any company is to consider the domestic content of the car because our economy depends to a large degree on workers paying income taxes and businesses being profitable and then paying corporate income taxes. As to your particular problem, it has always made me chuckle that people who buy a Chrysler product and have some serious problem believe that all Chrysler products from then on are junk. What makes this even more humorous is that these same people have similar problems with their new make(s) only now they're afraid to tell anybody about it. Example: there's a guy in my neighborhood who buy Jap cars. Every now and then his car simply disappears for days at a time. I've asked him where it is but he is vague about it. I finally figured out that it's in the shop being repaired but my neighbor is afraid to admit he bought a lemon from some supposedly perfect Jap company. So, investigate all the cars that fit your need and buy the best one. Keep in mind that the American Big Three have vehicles that the Asians do not and vice versa. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

Merri-lee we troll along troll along troll along.... Why don't you try some pithy comments instead of proving you're a fop and a blooter. If you don't know what these words mean, Google is your best friend but in short, you're a fool, plain and simple. "HEMI-Powered" wrote in message ... Glenn added these comments in the current discussion du jour ... "HEMI-Powered" wrote in message ... Maple1 added these comments in the current discussion du jour ... When I first discovered this group it was a place for aviation enthusiasts to share their work. A place to show your photos and a place to share original work. When did this group change from that to a group that you flood with photos from other sources? Must be all those young computer geeks that spend so much time in front of the computer that they don't have time nor the talent to get a camera and take some photos of their own. Soon when all us who still shoot are dead and gone all we will have is others posting our work and all the originality will be gone It is a shame. What difference does it make if an OP posts his or her own photos or whether they post scans or pictures gleaned from other places? It seems to me that so long as they are on-topic and have something to do with aviation in the broadest sense, why isn't that OK? This bigoted view reminds me of the change from aeronautical engineer to aerospace engineer in deference to the space race, so why is it bad to post pictures of NASA vehicles so long as they're of reasonable size and in JPEG format? If you want only original works, I think you'll find that the amount of content posted will drop off dramatically to the detriment of the group. I see your still bitching about other peoples views. Kinda makes you the Bigot doesn't it. Not hardly. What I'm doing is challenging the very bigotry you seem to be defending, including your own cheap shots. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

@fe04.news.easynews.com: Hemi head wanna be. Alan Einstein wannabe. -------------- Here's *my* funny sig from an ABPA thread on 08/16/08: Alan Erskine says... "I've got an IQ of 151" "I'm in the 99th percentile for my age group - that's the top 1 percent" (nice math there, Einstein!) "I doubt very strongly that you know anyone in my range of IQ" (Thankfully, NO!) Lee discussing newsserver retention: "...I can go back about 6 months..." Alan Erskine interrupts with: "Why should we wait for six months to download an image that was posted yesterday?" |

What "blind hatred rants..." are you referring to? I just can't stand trolls (like you), that's all. You must be learning impaired besides stupid, ignorant, inexperienced, and naive. And, bigoted towards people who disagree with your old-fashioned ideas. If you want references to what I mean, simply read your own rants and those of the other Outhouse Depressed bigots who would rather stay with a ****-assed non-news reader and complain than get a real one, for free, like Xnews and the yEnc issue simply goes away. As to this group changing, it'll be the end of the group if the narrow-minded clique that advocates original photos only gets their way. That's a sad day for everyone who comes here looking for good aviation pictures and not flame wars over non-issues. Now, go away, boy, you bore me. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

HEMI must be suffering from some sexual frustration. Using "****" and
"****ing" three times in one sentence is really pitiful. "alanr" schreef in bericht ... Troll+ "HEMI-Powered" wrote in message ...

Don't worry about this HEMI idiot he does nothing but cause problems (aka "troll"). Alan, you've proven again that you're nothing but a ****ing moron. So, my advice to you is Shut The **** Up and go the **** away, nobody gives a Flying **** what you think or say.
