Mark, aren't you being a bit jumpy here?
I am not playing a blame game, and my post - which was supposed to be
humorous - was certainly not directed against you. You have done way more
that your duty to this community, and you sure deserve to enjoy your
flying, without being pestered by us! Yes, indeed, I asked you a few years
ago to post some pics, and did not get an answer, but hey! there is a
period of limitation! You probably had something else to do at that time,
and we all enjoy the result, namely N56ML.
Anyway, it was not worth writing a novel about it, either. And you will
notice that the first question I asked was about the required size for the
pics, because I am conscious of other people's time.
And it is true that if I really wanted publicity, I should have created my
own site long ago.

I don't know if you're talking about me, but it sure sounds that way. If
you have asked me directly, or sent photos directly to me and I didn't
post
them to KRnet, I apologize. At the risk of signing up for doing
everybody's
website, send the pictures to me and I'll post them. I don't go out of my
way to volunteer to do this becuase it takes a minimum of an hour to do
that, and often quite a bit more. Most people who don't have web sites
also
don't know how to compress a photo, so I end up cropping and compressing
photos as well as writing the website, and then I end up updating it from
time to time, and when you multiply that time 50, it's a hassle and a
time
drainer. As most of you know, I'm pretty selfish with my time, because
between work and flying, I basically have none. I get 5 hours of sleep
per
night, period, and I'd love to get a lot more, but that's where my "extra"
time comes from.
That's why I welcome Mark Jones and Dan Heath's efforts at hosting some
of
you guys, and I just point to the link. I wouldn't mind hosting them if
it
were as easy as Lynn Hyder makes it...he does the html and zips it up with
the photos and all I have to do it upload it and update www.KRnet.org to
point to it. And don't forget there are hundreds of free web sites that
allow you to put your pictures out there with comments for people to view,
but most email accounts come with some kind of web space where you can
create your own website and maintain it yourself.
I'll gladly add a link to anything that resembles a KR, as long as I
don't
find anything else offensive on the same page (remember Justin?). If I
have
ignored any pleas to post photos from you, you have my sincerest
apologies,
and I assure you it was unintentional. I don't remember any requests from
you, or I'd have posted them. If you just asked for "somebody" on KRnet
to
post them, I probably let it slide, hoping somebody else would spend their
time doing it rather than me. That's just the way I am. I'd still
rather
you made it easy on me and just give me a link to point to. I posted a
few
details on how to create a web page and compress photos at the top of
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/misc.html a few years ago. If you can
build an airplane, you can build a website, and I'll gladly add a link to
it...
