Hi Arnold,
I have seen 3 different postings of Chara since April last year. I failed
to record who made the first post, but 30 files from Chara-03 taken from
that post have the Ducky header.
In January of this year, Naked Ape posted the Chara sets of which 29 files
from Chara-03 carry the Ducky header.
I revisited your post of just over a week ago and found 27 files have the
Ducky header in set 03. Were it not for the two missing images in your
post, there would have been 29, a match to Naked Ape's post.
The sole difference in all these posts is chara-03-001.jpg which was okay
with the first post, but not with the two subsequent posts.
The Chara series has been noticeably absent in p2p. Only one archive exists
containing Chara-01, and that set had been reworked, so useless. I have
found no other sources for Chara outside of usenet.
Regards,
mr.bill
