Ed was right, it is spam. It is crossposted commercial spam guised as
update notices.

Another ****house lawyer!!

Ed was right, it is spam. It is crossposted commercial spam guised as
update notices. One would have to be quite naive to think that Jay has
no commercial motive in his almost daily crossposted update notices.

Well... there is a slight difference, here. Jay isn't a commercial vendor
who suddenly appeared in the groups to shill his wares. He was
participating in these newsgroups for at least four years prior to his
purchasing the hotel. He's an aircraft owner, and has posted extensively
on his ownerships experiences and his opinions on a variety of topics.

He's doing us a favor by posting pictures of our airplanes on his web
space...not to mention collecting all the neat aviation videos all in one
spot.

True, it might be better if he made the "New Updates to the Rogues'
Gallery" postings on a biweekly or monthly basis, rather than every time a
plane is added. But I see his postings as enthusiasm, not commercialism.
He's having fun, and he wants to share it with the rest of us.

Over the years, we've had a number people who regularly posted fun stuff
here, but quit posting when the negativism became overwhelming. Let's not
add another to the list.

You folks are great, and I really enjoy seeing what everyone is flying --
it
makes the newsgroup experience just that much better.

Yes, it does, Jay. And thanks for hosting the pics. All those screaming
"spam" have never even tried to either run a business or be polite to
another human being. Luckily, you are capable of doing both at once.

I suspect that Jay's RAP friends ARE the majority.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

I doubt that they are the majority, just the loud ones.

I grew tired of his constant updates a while ago, and I
think most people did. I also think that the majority
decided as I did to toss his name into the killfile rather
than waste everybodies time complaining. Now I don't have
to look at his updates, and I doubt that the majority of
readers see his posts. That is the reason that repetitive
spamming is a waste of time - it goes unseen by those you
want to reach with your message.

And yet you still reply.

Agreed. Funny how a handful of chitchat newsgroup homeys come to
believe they "are" the group.

I, and obviously some others as well, see his daily update notices as
an advertising ploy. I agree with your biweekly suggestion but I also
I suggest that he should not crosspost them. If he posts update
notices to his website, he should post them to each newsgroup
separately and let the replies (pro, con, or indifferent) fall where
they may in each newsgroup.

Over the years, we've had a number people who regularly posted fun stuff

Perhaps those "fun stuff" posters had commercial ulterior motives as
well, hence the eventual negativity.

By the way, the signature goes _after_ the "-- ".

Why does he need to remove foot? I agree with Ron, I like Jay and he contributes
to this NG but I really don't think we need to know each time someone posts to
his web site.

Jay posts photos given him by the PARTICIPANTS OF THIS FORUM. For
free, at that. How hard would it be to filter these posts?

Reduces tip losses with an ellipstical lift distribution... More
efficient than a constant chord, especially when folks have been harping
on the same one. Happens when you live 40 miles from the Sedona vortex
country. Just the tip for the day. :-)**4
