That's because the people shouting the loudest are the objectors.

And they are in the majority.



Nah. but who cares about your opinion? Certainly not me.

Then why should anyone be interested in your opinion? Certainly not me.

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

Jpegs individually posted would be preferred, so I can see what they
are like before getting the whole lot, but they will be appreciated
either way.

Ignore the moaners.

In a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on Earth to be memorable! I've had plenty of sex in my life, but no one has ever made me really feel like a woman! Well, I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN??" For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then,
a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says. He's gorgeous. Tall, built, with long, flowing black hair and jet black eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. No one moves. The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation as the stranger approaches. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her. He extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling
woman, and whispers: "Iron this."

Since this is only 324Mb g, I say yes. I'd love to see those.

If you don't mind a suggestion, might it be a good idea to add
something to your subject line for the post? Perhaps "J3 flood," or
"J3 winrar post." That way the easily-upset have a very simple method
to avoid being offended by your work.

'Cause I like people to LOOK at my scans, not just
collect them for the sake of collecting ...

When people flood, I generally ask them if they also
race thru a museum to view everything ...

To me, photos & scans are to be viewed, examined,
enjoyed, savored ... flooding is counter to all of that ...

I don't killfile but I will delete all your headers w/out
d/ling ...

Gee, that wasn't so hard now, was it?

Sj, this may not have occured to you, but there are other reasons to
collect stuff like this that don't relate to "buy them, trade them,
get them ALL!" For example, if you are a modeler, any high-resolution
photo of a potential subject is always useful, even if you don't get
around to modeling that subject for a while.

Enjoy the herbal tea, your patchouli, and I'll send someone over to
wipe your fevered brow, while the rest of us grab the photos.

P.S. I don't even want to know how you "savor" a photograph, and I'm
not about to ask! Heh.

Needless to say, the ng is delighted, & it will take us about 2
weeks to get the full calendar
