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.


well the advice was free but if you think they were cheap, I look forward to
your payment.

My payment is pointing out that many people in this NG have
outmoded ideas and that promoting an obsolete standard for posting
amounts to blind hatred and bigotry towards those who challenge it.
As for you, you made your own bed, now lie in it.

Why don't you try some pithy comments instead of proving you're a
fop and a blooter. If you don't know what these words mean,
Google is your best friend but in short, you're a fool, plain and
simple.

No, it doesn't. I simply point out the stupids, the ignorant, and
the lazy. It is they, not me, that are bigots about what can be
posted here. Taking the view that all pictures must be original
and not scanned from books or gleaned from good web sites is both
childish and short-sighted.

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.
