You're saying it should allow infinite bounces? That just clutters the server and - after awhile - bring it down. Then there's no list at all. Again, keep in mind that *you* are paying *nothing* for this. Al runs the site and the list out of the goodness of his heart. Could it be better? Sure! However, it takes time and money - Al's little free time and no money coming from us.

C. I normally do not respond to posts such as yours, nor enter into the exchange, but today I feel so inclined. I've been a member of this list for just under two years now. My experience indicates that the members of this list are a great group of people. They openly share their ideas and tips, and more than once have dipped into their spare parts bin and decal files to help out, asking nothing in return. I have developed several "virtual" friendships, and more than a few real friends who share my fledgling interest in this arcane hobby of ours. As such, we meet here in a spirit of cooperation and friendship. We have dealt with whiners, complainers and flamers on this list before, generally by simply ignoring them, sometimes by removing them and blocking their access. Asking if the system is down, or recommending a solution is one thing, but complaining about something of which you apparently know very little is unfair to those who put in numerous hours, without charge to provide us this forum. I was taught by my father that the simple solution to any complaint is to roll up your sleeves and volunteer to fix the problem ~ which I strongly suggest to you. Relax, and enjoy the group, and focus on the topic, "OT" not the superfluous which is strictly ot. And please, refrain from getting in tit-for-tat exchanges on the list, if you've got a bone to pick, take it offline and deal one-on-one. Many have done this in the past, and by so doing have saved the rest of us from watching adults embarrass themselves in public. No apologies, this was meant to be posted ON THE LIST.

The concerned posting of List members a year ago was certainly a much-needed source of comfort during some terrible days here. To all those who posted or worried, my thanks on this anniversary. As individuals with some fairly strong background in the history and science of photography, I think we may have gotten just a tad too talmudically or scholastically nit-picking with each other--at least I think I did. I'm glad we are past it. "As someone else noted, there are fragments of airframes which reveal a range of possible colours." I would be interested in learning more about these other bits and whether they have been "imaged" somewhere. " It could in fact, be a fine indication of *one* colour being appropriate without necessarily excluding others." In this case, I think *you* have stated the real bottome line.

Well, I've found that if you can arrange personally with the server an exception to his rules, they usually agree on sending the goodies anywhere. I've got some nice items even when they were advertised as "only to the US". That also helps to clear up any doubts you may have regarding to overpricing in the shipping costs, and besides serves to the seller to show that you're a serious buyer. There's a lot of sniping in Ebay. But I wrote the phrase of the scratchbuilt wing just to see if you're going to send me thunder for that allusion to the "famous rib thread"!!! ;-) Au revoir!

It is not perfect, and it is provided at no charge by the university and maintained by Allen at first, and now with the help of two other list members We have to exist under the constraints of the hardware owner. All in all, even with the occasional bump we have to deal with, this has been the most informative list I have belonged to since I started getting on the net. Hotmail has been known to have problems for some time now. Most listmates either accept the problems as they are, or change ISPs. I have been on the list almost from the beginning and have only been bumped two times. For what this list provides and the caliber of the members, I would not care if I got bumped once a week. The only other list I have heard of that provides the type of content this one does cost its members 10.00 per month, had a complicated password system that had to be used to get in, and ended up with a bunch of spoiled brats who did nothing but argue about non topic items or each other.

If anyone has requirements for specific shots let either myself or Sanjeev know, and we can arrange it. The more descriptive you are in what you're looking the better as it gives us an idea of exactly what we need to shoot. I can attempt to pass along specific questions on the equipment, but these guys are really overtasked, and are not the most responsive when it comes to research for outside interests, but I'll give it a try. The environment inside the museum (a circa 1917 hanger) is not the best for photography, but maybe with some additional artificial lighting, and Karen's talent at enhancing poor quality photos we can put something tolerable together. /R/ Greg -----Original Message----- From: SSH [mailto:ot811@msbx.net] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 10:27 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [WWI] Re: WWI armour at Quantico Diego, >>>>>>unknown.mg.1.jpg seems like a Chauchat automatic rifle. ----- thanks, I will update >There are more pictures of the Jenny and the Tommy? ----- unfortunately no.

I have a cable modem subscription and in almost 2 years I have NEVER, repeat NEVER been dumped from the list unless I unsubscribed.

Message-ID: <04a801c25a70$76564f00$bd4d39cc@mesystem> M.C. The chances are far better than 50/50 that your e-mail service is returning message to the list because your box is full at their end. The free services do that all the time. There are service out in the real world that will retain "megabytes" of Info if you are willing to pay a few bucks for the service. Remember, when something is free, you often get all the service you pay for. I pay $19.95 a month for a service located 15 miles up I-35 here in Texas. They kept all of my e-mail received for a 5 week vacation period, and, I lost absolutely nothing. I often get 250 messages in a 24 hour period. At just 3K per hit that is a bunch of memory tied up on their servers. I would not change services on a bet. During one very trying time period I was connected for over 50 hours straight and not bumped or cut-off. I have been using x25 for more than three years. Super people and super service at a decent price. Please think more than twice. The problem is not with the servers sending you the initial wwi messages. It is the intermediary service, that you "personally" have selected, that does the cutting. If they return just one message to the University of New Hampshire servers you will be dropped. That is a fact. It is also a well known reason.... Ask Allan... Lee M. New Braunfels, Tx lemen@x25.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "M. C."

Sure, I've been bumped a time or two, but the way I see it is that if being occasionally bumped is the worst thing going on in your life, then you should count your blessings!
