Posting pictures on this group

Is picture posting not permitted on this group as I would like to post some
pictures I took from a recent flight down the Hudson Corridor (pre-Lidle)?

No it is not acceptable to post photos on a text newsgroup. Most servers
would strip them off anyway. There is a binary newsgroup associated with
this group but I don't have a clue as to what it is.

try alt.binaries.pictures.aviation

The easier way is to just put them on a website, and then just post
the URL. If you don't have your own webspace, Flickr, Photobucket
or one of the others works well enough.

You can use alt.binaries.pictures.aviation

If I were you, and wanted to view the results, I would go to the group - FIRST,
and use some type of "catch up" feature so you don't have to download several
hundred posts. It is a very active group, with many large files.

You could also use RAP first in the subject, so it is easier for others to find
them, when you reference to them in a post.

I trust you do have broadband of some type? g

I like the idea of the OP posting a URL instead. That way, we go right to the
content instead of having to find that newsgroup, then wade through it to find
the particular photos.

This is considered by most a text-only group. Many folks post to
alt.binaries.pictures.aviation and let people know with a post to this
group.

That said, I wonder if feelings will change with the increasing
popularity of broadband connections. As long as this does not start
filling with SPAM, I personally would not mind a few aviation-related
pics from time to time.

Speaking as a news administrator with 20 years experience, I say broadband
has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's server space, and you let in
one binary and soon the group will be nothing but pictures, and then I'll
have to boot it from my servers.

For the OP, dump them into Yahoo.photo ...like these aviation-related pics.

It's easy to use. It's FREE. It's fast. Best of all ...it's linkable.

No, they won't change. Besides being huge (with consequences beyond
connection speed), classification and segregation of topics is a Good
Thing. It helps readers find what they want, and ignore what they don't
want.
