So long

[the Legend of LAX[_3_]]

It's time to say so long to all the of the good people on this
newsgroup. I've met some terrific people here & had a lot of fun sharing
my photo's. Since I'm now retired, I don't get to shoot anymore. Most
everybody has either dropped to lurker mode or just plain left. I'm
afraid it's time for me too. It's been a blast.

If anybody feels the urge to contact me, they can always do so at
.

Dale, I am sorry to that you no longer get to shoot anymore. I hope
that is just the lack of aviation targets and not that you are dropping
photography completely as a hobby. It would be sad to put that kit out
to pasture.

Regardless, I have always enjoyed all of your contributions to the
group. Thanks for those.

I think an appropriate farewell to alt.binaries.pictures.aviation would
be a rerun of the video of your last day at LAX.

Thanks scads for all the great photos you have shared over the years,
Dale! You will forever have a couple hundred Mb on my hard drive...
=)

I've been knocked down by heart failure, especially the last few
months spent in rehab. Home again now, but having a laptop available
at the rehab center and being able to follow a few of my favorite
groups allowed a bit of normalcy in a world turned tres strange.

Hoping to someday get some more old stuff scanned and posted, and even
get out now and then for some new stuff.

But know this: you will be missed.

Take care, and continued happy retirement to you,

Bob ^,,^

Here's wishing you a long and happy retirement Dale. I've always been a
little envious of your blue skies there. If you ever get bored I'm sure
we'd all like to see the odd recycled shot from your album.

I'm not giving up shooting, just airplanes. Thank you all for such kind
words.

The problem is usenet is about dead. I can't really justify the cost of
Giganews anymore for two or three groups. The other problem is that I
have so many pictures I would like to edit & post, but I just don't have
the time with all of my other hobbies going on. Here is a link to my
most time consuming one:

http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/7452-us-brig-niagara-by-laxet-model-shipways/


Someday I will eventually get around to them, but there are over 40,000
to go through. I need to separate the wheat from the chaff first. I will
look around for a free usenet app, but for now, as of the end of the
month I'm gone.

So, as requested by Mr Savageduck (I don't even know your name), here is
a link to Dale & Ray's last hurrah at LAX.

Sniff!

Bob,

I'm sorry to hear about your recent illness. I can certainly sympathize
you about heart problems. I will probably miss your posts more than
anyone elses. I always look forward to them because there is always some
very witty repartee', not to mention some outstanding pictures.

I have enjoyed your posts from LAX and will certainly miss them. Even though
you won't have a grandstand seat at the airport any more no doubt you will
continue to find enjoyment from your photography of other subjects. Wishing
you a long and healthy retirement,

Indrek Aavisto

Yup! I find myself returning to old stuff to rework.

There aren't too many free usenet providers which provide free binary
groups, but as you know that hasn't stopped folks from showing their
work in non-binary groups such as alt.photography and rec.photo.digital
using Dropbox and other Cloud storage services, like so;
<https://db.tt/HrtYe2HG>

That way you could subscribe to one of the free non-binary usenet
servers, continue to use Thunderbird, and get some free storage on
Dropbox

The next best thing to free would be a block account. For $10 you can
get 25GB which never expires and there are no maintenance fees. Once a
person pays the initial ten bucks access is essentially free.

Free:
Posting
Headers
Reading (Well, if you get through 25GB of text I'd buy the next one.)

One reason to recommend UseNet-News is very few incompletes. I also
use Astraweb for other reasons but unfortunately can't say the same
for them, plus they charge for 20% of headers. Retention on both is
around 6 years now.

To round out the sales pitch, UseNet-News has the most options of the
two with 10 sizes available from 2GB - 1TB. Astraweb has three and is
about 1/2 price for a 1TB block.

I've also enjoyed your pictures - and envied you your airside status to
get them. Thank you for sharing.

You're obviously a talented photographer, so why not have a look at
alt.binaries.photos.original which seems to be ticking over quite well.

Best wishes

Ri©ardo
