Death at Oshkosh, sad to report

Oh, I'm quite selective--only posting about a tenth of what I shoot at EAA. And it appears you haven't noticed just how small my files are--that's the power of yEnc. Go ahead--get all the files for the last 6 months or so. My files are typically under 2000 in size (quite a few are even under 1000), despite being 1280X1024 images (bigger in dimensions than most files posted here). 2000 puts them below about 80-85% of the files posted here. So mine are bigger but smaller than most. What more could you want? yEnc appears to be a SOLUTION to the problem you mention, not a cause. (Notice I said "a" solution, not "the" solution). Alas, I'm beginning to realize just what kind of mentality I'm up against here. And since I promised to stay out of the yEnc thing (screen goes blank) |

If you don't post much why do you need to post in eYenc?
