A past member of urg called in today - I think he still looks in
occasionally - and we had a bit of a chat. He remarked that one thing he
likes about the group he most frequents now is that it is permissible to
post pictures. His comment is that as most people now have broadband it
could be/should be possible to allow this group to take them, too.
I thought it would be worth canvassing opinion on this. I wonder what
most
people feel about being able to post and view pics directly on the group?
Would it inconvenience many people or please and help even more?

Read the charter

Why should "YOU" decide to change it?

NO

Mike


You rude bugger. The lady didnt say to change it, she just asked a simple
question.

If you disagree you can say so but you have no right to shout at her. You
should apologise but of course you dont have the guts to do it.

Some rural areas of Scotland (and England) will only get broadband if
they can afford to supply install and operate their own private
satellite access..

Indeed, a daughter can get it in rural south Wales.

A son couldn't have it in rural Cambridgeshire, despite the other side of
his street having access and an RAF airfield next door.

SHOUTING?

Sacha made a very friendly, chatty post and asked a question in an
endearingly polite way. I think it's fair to say that most people who
replied didn't like the idea of binaries being posted here (even if it were
possible). However, most of the people who replied seemed to manage to do so
without bursting a blood vessel.

It should also be added that her response was considered and accepting
of those views. In any case, she was just asking for opinions and not
pressing for a change.

That's something you may wish to reflect on.

Hmmm. Somehow I very much doubt he will. Never done it before. What
was it about laughing hyenas and changing spots? Oh, no it was
leopards. Maybe in this context the former is more appropriate.

You may be sure that he will be back again in a few minutes, or hours, or
days.
He will pretend that this offensive outburst has never happened, and that
no apology is due.
When he reappears in the next topic he will once again have the only
correct answer, and anyone who dares to disagree will be contradicted with
his unique blend of abrupt rudeness and childish tantrums.

At least most of you people only have to face him on the gardening NG, and
you should be grateful for it. Those of us on the Isle of Wight not only
have to put up with him on our uk.local NG but also have to live with him
in our midst. His crackpot schemes for destroying the Island's environment
are of course laughed off, but we still have to listen to them.

That's true Mary, as far as it goes. But when he breaks into an important
or interesting thread, and is quoted by others, it's impossible to avoid
him completely.

Don't worry Mary, they are the crackpots in wanting to destroy the Isle of
Wight :-((

They are quite happy to have more and more cars clogging up our roads and
are quite prepared for huge Estates to be built on fields thus covering the
beautiful Isle of Wight with roof and road :-(((

One good thing which has emerged this year and thus helps to rid the Island
of a 'few' cars, is free travel on the busses and trains for the over 60's.
The trouble is the trains go nowhere, ......... almost and the busses are
few and far between and then don't go where you want them to go at the time
you want them to go, therefore the car is still more convenient :-((( and
for those who do not get free bus passes, very very expensive :-((

If you know the Isle of Wight of 50 years ago and know it now, you can
visualise just what a mess it will be, at their hands, in another 50 years
:-((((

This is not about me, Mike. I'm not important.

You have been unjustifiably rude to someone, as *four* different people
have pointed out.
Will you now apologise to her?

Arthur

I know this is off-topic here, but since Mike has seen fit to raise it you
may wish to see the other, majority view:

This is the person who wants to join the Island to the mainland with a
bridge.

This is the person who has a large, heavy and polluting car, and whose
bridge is designed to bring many more cars onto the no-longer-island.


and are quite prepared for huge Estates to be built on fields thus
covering the beautiful Isle of Wight with roof and road :-(((

This is the person whose own house and access road were built on open
heathland, and who has recently boasted about how much his garden is worth
to a developer for building flats.


I hope that Mike will now leave this discussion to the uk.local group
where it properly belongs.

I'm really grateful to all of you who have chastised Crowe for his rudeness
but it really is nothing exceptional. He is obsessed and unbalanced in this
regard, as his recent and repeated foolishness shows. He will not apologise
because he hasn't the manners or courage to do so and all he's getting now
is the oxygen of attention which is what he wants more than anything. As you
see, he's used this annoyance with him to grab a chance to talk about the
off topic IoW on urg, simply because it then becomes all about HIM and he's
salivating at the prospect of someone answering him! The man's a fool and
a bore. People here are pretty good at either killfiling him, or snipping
posts, which cuts out most of his ravings so perhaps you can get your IoW
group to be scrupulous about that, too and simply ignore him.

One more word out of you to that effect, Mike and I am going to write to
your family to tell them what you're suggesting and how you spend your time
on a computer while pretending to help or represent retired servicemen.
Be very careful what you say to or about me in future because I warn you
now that my husband is very unamused at your filthy suggestions about his
wife on a public newsgroup. I've taken legal action before against someone
who libeled me on a US newsgroup and I won't hesitate to act against you if
this persists.
Your insane obsession with me ensures that you are digging a very deep hole
for yourself. Be wise and do not be tempted to continue this harassment.
Another word from you to me in this vein and those letters go out.

Oh dear :-((

Just for your information Sacha, my family are already amused by your net
nannying and your postings about me :-))

One thing which would have come out of your suggestions to change the
charter and accept photos, is a wonderful picture which we received
yesterday, and yes it is garden/flower related, which I could have posted
and will post as/when and should you have the charter changed, and that is
one of three photos taken at a huge RAF parade at RAF Cosford on Sunday June
25th. Mrs Simms, wife of Air Commodore Simm OBE, Commanding Officer of RAF
Cosford, Mrs Magee, wife of the Chairman of the RAF Association, and my
wife, wife of the President of the RAF Association, that's me, were all
presented with a beautiful basket of flowers. I could have put that up
couldn't I? But I won't because binaries are not allowed by the charter :-))

And just after that, we had a fly past of part of the Battle of Britain
Memorial Flight :-))

So you are President of the RAF Association are you.
Why should they make you President when you have never been in the RAF.
Come to that you were never really in the Navy, only in a shore training
base.

The RAF Association web site says their President is Air Marshal P O Sturley
CB MBE BSc FRAeS
Explain that then Mike.
