It was certainly crisp.

The thing is with doing floods is that a lot of [tight] people (like me
:-) ) use their internet service providers news servers. On these type
of servers the retention rate is usually very minimal. Some binary
groups on my ISP only have a retention rate of 2 days, others a shade
longer, and on text only groups it can be over a year. So if for some
reason you do not look in for a few days then it is possible to miss
good things.
Another thing is that there maybe people on limited monthly download
data quota's.
I like the scatter approach even though I have a fast unlimited
connection. I usually only post a flood and that is perhaps no more
than five albums (because I don't have that many to post) if someone
actually asks for it.

Ha! I have now started to put down on a speadsheet, where, when and
what I have posted as the memory starts to fade, old age creeps up way
too fast for anyone :-(
