Challenge to the group both the active participants and the lurkers... 1 of 2 challenges

Okay gang in the hopes of putting the merry yEnc wars into the historical
archives of this NG and refocusing it upon aviation imagery here is my
challenge. Whether it be an amateur shot a pro shot, a great one or a bad
one.
I am challenging every person who reads this to post one image from your
collection that you are especially proud of, or that you enjoy looking at.
It doesn't have to be a series of images, and don't worry about how it well
it compares to the resident pro shooters who play here, our unique challenge
comes tomorrow night (Friday). This is not about anything other than
getting as many people as possible to post a single image. If you like, and
you are not a regular contributor why not say something about yourself as
well.

Before it begins the obvious question concerns that subject which has as
many fans as adversaries; the dreaded yEnc. At this point in time I don't
think it really matters if you post in yEnc, or not because the damage has
been done to the group. So now all of us need to let time to heal the
wounds that we as collective been done to it. So my only (and hopefully
benign) comment from the anti yEnc side, is that more people will see your
image in a NON-yEnc format than those who would see it if you posted it in a
yEnc format. HOWEVER if you prefer to post in yEnc PLEASE LABEL IT AS A
YENC IN THE SUBJECT LINE!

Additionally I am asking that ALL PARTIES HOLD OR BITE THEIR FINGERS if they
feel the urge to pass comments or offer UNSOLICITED OPINIONS about either
the joys of yEnc, why you detest yEnc, the various NG yEnc capable readers
etc. Consider it challenge within the challenge to resist ALL POTENTIALLY
inflammatory comments. Remember the game of who blinks first??? My
challenge is intended to be only about images; and NOTHING ELSE!!!

So let the challenge begin, and remember what I asked about labels, and
comments. I will attach an image of mine to start the challenge...

That image would have been much smaller in yEnc


naw..... it just would have been text.

Taken at the Museum of Flight in Seattle this past May.

Probably the worst window seat in the world. 1974 and Mt. Rainier is
down there in the clouds somewhere as we wing our way to Moffett NAS
from McChord AFB.

#5 and #8 came out as gibberish text. I am using MT-Newswatcher 3.5.2 on
an emac.

Taken on the 100th anniversary of flight. Not taken by me, but of my wife
and I. A day never to be repeated, a plane now owned by another.

Cheers:
