When did this group change from?
Glenn added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...
"HEMI-Powered" wrote in message ... Maple1 added these comments in the current discussion du jour ... When I first discovered this group it was a place for aviation enthusiasts to share their work. A place to show your photos and a place to share original work. When did this group change from that to a group that you flood with photos from other sources? Must be all those young computer geeks that spend so much time in front of the computer that they don't have time nor the talent to get a camera and take some photos of their own. Soon when all us who still shoot are dead and gone all we will have is others posting our work and all the originality will be gone It is a shame. What difference does it make if an OP posts his or her own photos or whether they post scans or pictures gleaned from other places? It seems to me that so long as they are on-topic and have something to do with aviation in the broadest sense, why isn't that OK? This bigoted view reminds me of the change from aeronautical engineer to aerospace engineer in deference to the space race, so why is it bad to post pictures of NASA vehicles so long as they're of reasonable size and in JPEG format? If you want only original works, I think you'll find that the amount of content posted will drop off dramatically to the detriment of the group. I see your still bitching about other peoples views. Kinda makes you the Bigot doesn't it. Not hardly. What I'm doing is challenging the very bigotry you seem to be defending, including your own cheap shots. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

Soon when all us who still shoot are dead and gone all we will have is others posting our work and all the originality will be gone It is a shame. This same argument was made over at a.b.p.animals on several occasions. There is a group called a.b.p.animals.original - maybe the same applies for aviation. To continue the same argument here... where does it say the images have to be original? As long as they are on-topic, there should be no problem. As has been noted on .animals, not all of the images shown on this group have ever been original - you might want to talk to Mitchell about original works - he's been posting here for some years now and he's not the only one. Also, if it is original work, you are placing that on a public-access newsgroup; therefore, you have little say in what is actually done to your images after they are posted - how do you prove that you took them? There is no copyright info attached; nobody can contact the OP (both Original Poster and Original Producer) to ask for permission. Do you really think people are simple looking at these images? I have collected litterally thousands of images over the years - no way of telling who the OP is or was. This is exactly my point and for them who strongly disagree, I will again call them bigots for having such narrow views. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

... Oh I don't mind educating the uneducated at times. I like to be friendly and helpful at all times ;-) I appreciate your effort, but it's a lost cause in the case of all trolls like HEMI. |

I suggest the application of your killfile in his instance. Yeah, we know how effective those kill-filters are. Hey Einstein, I'm still waiting for: either a letter of complaint from NewsGuy about what you falsely accused me of (forging headers), *OR* your admission of lying and an apology to the group for being a liar. (crickets STILL chirping) Who is the real troll, Einstein? ----------------------- Here's *my* funny sig from an ABPA thread on 08/16/08: Alan Erskine says... "I've got an IQ of 151" "I'm in the 99th percentile for my age group - that's the top 1 percent" (nice math there, Einstein!) "I doubt very strongly that you know anyone in my range of IQ" (Thankfully, NO!) Lee discussing newsserver retention: "...I can go back about 6 months..." Alan Erskine interrupts with: "Why should we wait for six months to download an image that was posted yesterday?" |

Well Einstein, I see that the heilan' laddie is still here. I'm still here. Unfortunately, you're still here. You owe both of us an apology. You *are* a liar and we *caught you* in your lie. Would you like the evidence be re-posted for all to see? I can certainly do that! Not only do I have copies, I have a real news-service account. We asked you to "put up or shut up." Being a low- life troll, you chose neither. Gutless, very gutless. Not a man at all. Since you won't apologize to either of us directly, why don't you apologize to the entire group for lying. Gutless eunuch. You're a shiver looking for a spine to crawl up. You'd best be the one to STFU in this NG from now on. I'll make it my life's mission to educate everyone, everywhere you go, about what a lying troll you actually are, Mr.IQ. --------------------- Here's *my* funny sig from an ABPA thread on 08/16/08: Alan Erskine says...
