thanks for reponses to this post and offers to post the photos. mark zen has offered to post them. I guess he'll let us know when he gets to it. i'm sure someone posted photos last week. I certainly got some and took this experience as my starting point I guess. Maybe someone can enlighten me on this situation of those photos. they were of someone's pulley system. nick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

That's how I looked at them. Most listservs and news groups do not allow picture files because of their size. Also, not all host computers for these groups have sufficient storage space to keep them. There are a few news groups which will have "binaries" in their names, and those are specifically intended for photos. Alt.binaries.pictures.animals is one such group. There are also some "Photo Album" websites that you can use to put your pictures up. Then all you need to do is give the URL or Email for them in your message.

To the list? 0... Zero... Nada... Zilch... You can put it up on a web page and announce the URL or I'll be glad to put it up somewhere on the PaddleWise website for you and let folks know how to find it. Or offer to email it to interested parties. Policy for PaddleWise is no images posted to the list but please feel free to post the URL.

Yup :-) Thanks, Mark. If anyone has an image they want to share but no web site, there will always be someone here they can count on to put it up at some location where they can share it with the rest of us.
