My question is why can't pictures be posted in this news group? I would think if you didn't want to look at them, don't open the post. I went to a.b.p.w to look for some turning pictures. I opened one of a chess board hanging on the wall along with the playing pieces. There was one post advising the poster not to make the pictures so big as a dial up takes along time to down load. Simple and polite. Then there were about 6 posts dumping on this guy about picture size, like sharks after bait. Nothing about the project he built. Ok lets move on to another. A quilting rack, since my wife makes quilts. There are the replys about him mounting it to his sofa. ( the quilt rack was sitting on the sofa for the picture). The post I liked was the comment about it looking like the towel rack he had in the bathroom. Again nothing about the workmanship or how it looked. People post pictures because they are proud of what they have done and want to show it off. If they are asking for an honest evaluation of the work that would be different. Well I came back home to this group. Most of the time people here are polite and respectful of one anothers feelings. The other thing is pictures here would be about turning. Yes I go up to WOW and check the posts there. Well sorry about the rant, it must have hit a nerve with me. I guess I should go back to pulling weeds, makes the wife happy when I work in the yard even if it is every 6 months or so.
