An open message to the group.

Just as a matter of interest my ISP down here in OZ only actually listed 3
of the 24 files that you had sent - so for some of us it is really a pain
not only able to see it, and hence pass comment on it's relevance etc, but
really is a waste of space on the news group.

Whenever I see a movie of any kind that I think the group would be
interested in I just simply post the link - saves a heap of angst.

see ya

Conscious Pilate



I understand your frustration but again, how am I accountable for what
a server passes to you or does not? I have read replies to original
messages posted in this NG which never posted on my server.

Is that the posters fault? Of course not, it's a server issue.

If you saw only 3 of 24 files on your server but I saw all 24 on my
server, does that suggest anything? No one likes to be teased and
normally I would have only posted a link. In this case it was a file
sent to me that I saved a few years ago. I could not provide a link
in this case.

The movie file was a silly spoof with cheesy animation that actually
won a few awards. Do you want me to repost the file and we can measure
what goes through? I'll mark it as a test file and scream "Fire in the
hole!" before I let it loose.

I already reported to my ISP the noticable lack of posts on my end.

You're not; CP was just pointing it out. Several other people had the same
problem and that can be looked into by the various people.

That's what most would do - talk (try anyway) to their ISP's and see what
happened.

You are correct. It was a long night.

In reading the control messages for this ng & for
alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation, it sounds like you need to check
out the multimedia ng ... it sounds like it was created out of a
desire to post multimedia ("movies, home videos, gun camera
footage, a/c walk-arounds and the like") while this ng was
created for pictures ...

try and liven things up here, it's been dead on my end for awhile.
Boy, did I ecxceed my wildest expectations!
