This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment David: =20 I know you've been on the internet long enough to realize that there are people who would take advantage of this place to post things. If anyone could post to our server and have it show up immediately there would be all kinds of spam, porn, etc. This then requires that we have some responsible person look at and approve anything posted there. =20 =20 Ron is doing all the approving at this moment until all the systems are fully checked out. When the system is bullet proof, the administrator on duty each week will be approving posts. However, on my weeks, I'll not be checking at 1:12 AM to see if there is a picture there that you want to see. I'll be sleeping and will check it in the morning! =20 If you want to post a picture and have it immediately available to the list, you can post it on your personal web page, put the URL in your email and everyone will see it.. This accommodation that Ron has created on the PTG server is for those of us who don't have readily accessible web space and are willing to wait for the approval process. =20 dave =20 David M.

To quote from the instructions on the ptg.org/files page: When a file is uploaded it sends an email to the moderator so it should be approved or deleted within a day or two.=20 Given the way graphics have become intrinsic to many of the discussions here, such a delay seems to pose a significant obstacle to the flow of ideas. For example, it's only 1:12 AM right now, and I can't see the image of bent tuning pins Clark Sprague sent over an hour ago. ( http://www.ptg.org/files_add.php <http://www.ptg.org/files_add.php> ) Unless you're willing to assign a surrogate, or junior monitor when you are not available, it acts a bit like a curfew.=20 Just an initial observation, though I'm glad to see you're trying.
