I have to agree with the effect on the Review....I'm also concerned that we will be bombarded with not only folks "advertising" with pictures. If you have a brag, you follow up with a picture....Is this the mission of the list? It wasn't that long ago that we were told not to even advertise website updates.......There are so many people on this list, enjoying our GSD's in different ways.....Some will love the "fun" pics, some will not.... some will be interested mainly in show pics...some will not....some will want mainly to read about issues...health...breeding...parent club...etc, and not deal with pictures at all.......If the majority wants to do the picture thing, despite the effect on the Review, may I respectfully request that there be a list "picture site"...one where you could post fun pics, puppy shots, show wins, moving shots, etc....Then each person could go to that section and view the type of picture he or she is interested in....and the list could remain a place for discussion, announcements, etc. Cyndi www.carettigsd.com <http://www.carettigsd.com/> _____ From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of LeBrowngsd@xxxxxxx Sent: Monday, July 04, 2005 7:04 PM To: TISHW@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: PICTURES In a message dated 7/4/2005 4:55:37 PM Central Daylight Time, TISHW@xxxxxxx writes: I sure hate to sound like an old curmudgeon but the pictures are a bad idea. Some of us just do not have the time to wait while all these pictures download. Plus they fill up your mailbox and your filing cabinet. If the List continues with the pictures, I will have to go either to getting posts via the archives or just set no mail which I hate to do because I really do enjoy the List. Tish **************************************************************************** ************************ I agree with Tish plus I am wondering how this will effect the Review. People can display their pictures here for free so why bother to buy an Ad in the Review. All in all I think it is a very bad idea. Lee Brown
