alienjones(d-mac) is referring to haven't helped either, but
d-mac needs to accept he has played just as much a part in
that war as everyone else. I am keen to contribute to SI,

I don't agree with the concept of commercial hosting /
sponsorship etc. There is nothing wrong with the existing
PBASE hosting, or alternatively shifting to Flickr or one of
the other free hosting sites. Actually, flickr might be a
good place to host - we could create an SI group, then

What advantage does that offer over pbase?


The only drama I can see with using flickr would be the risk
of people using that forum for discussion rather than rpe35.
Potentially it could reduce the signal in this group and let
the noise take over.

I have made my killfile much more restrictive. I know there are some good
posts lost but overall it has made a huge difference - a lot more signal
than noise.
