That's the objective, isn't it? He wants to show them to us without the
risk
that someone will rip them off. If you like a picture enough to care that
the
legend is there, then you should buy it; and then Dennis will send you the
high-resolution version without the legend. Makes perfect sense to me.

Bob,
If this is so, then it's commercial, then SPAM...
Also, I don't give a hoot. If someone wants us to appreciate a photo, then
he shouldn't clutter it with scribbling.

That reasoning puts the exhibitor in a difficult situation. Is it your
position that anyone who makes pictures available on the Internet and mentions
them in this newsgroup has to expose them to being filched? Dennis wasn't
blatant or "commercial" about it. He didn't say "Come buy my pictures." I do
see your point, but I wonder if you aren't being unreasonable.

If it links to a site that is used for the poster to make money there should
be at least some acknowledgement in the subject line like maybe comm,
there are guidelines somewhere ot just don't do it, it is just spam.

People that have permanent links to their sites in their sigline for their
sites I think are almost tolerable.

If Phil Askey or someone that had a money making site posted here all the
time I would simply killfile them as I do not believe it is appropriate and
I have done that to several here so only get answers from others. I frequent
several forums on conmmercial sites and am happy that they have adds all
over the place but not here.

Cheers.

All he's posted is a link to his website...

The point is to not post pointless posts directing to a website for that
purpose alone. Posting photos directly to this ng (as an attachement
aka binary) is also not permitted by the NG charter. (2nd link below).

Posting an image link to discuss an issue with equipment or technique is
another matter as stated above.

Wooo Hooo. The Sheriff and his smoking gun give it to another innocent
poster.
From my count, his post contains one link... Your's three. Looks like
you lose this time mate. What's up? no one to flame bait in the other
groups? Get a life man, you're starting to look childish (again).

He started the charter of this group telling everyone to limit their
sig to three lines and immediately began using four himself! When I
pulled him up on it, did he cut his sig down? NOPE! He changed the
charter!!!

Unbelievable.

Alan did not pen the charter, although he - and all of us in r.p.d at
the time - had plenty of opportunity for input. Nor can anyone change it
without months of bickering.

Few people care about length of sig lines that are properly done - i.e,
a sig delimiter above the name, including salutation. (Thus Alan's is
generally wrong, regardless of number of lines.)

Well, actually I did pen the major and revised versions of it for
Thadeus Lip****z (who started this NG) and enlisted my help as co-proponent.

Mine is correct, there is a double "-" in front before it. When I view
my posts with Thunderbird my sig is de-emphasized properly.

Cheers,
Alan

: Posting an image link to discuss an issue with equipment or technique is

Fair enough. But where is the prohibition against posting a link to one's
pictures? What is your definition of the words "permitted" and "encouraged" in
the following quotation from the newsgroup's charter?

"Can we include photographs with our postings to r.p.d.slr-systems?

No. The charter of the newsgroup prohibits the attaching of photographs and
other attachments (usually referred to as binaries.) However, posting links to
photographs is permitted, even encouraged whenever discussion of a particular
problem or desired result are discussed."

Precisely. Conditional ("whenever"). Which does not include posting a
link to some dozens or hundreds of photos for no specific purpose as
"Dennis" (who I've never seen here before nor since his post) did.

Cheers,
Alan.

Do you have a "reply - to" set to your e-mail when you post to usenet?
