Mover and Morpheus, your points are well taken. I wonder if part of the
reason for all this is because of my flood of pics that I did with my
request for group/collage pics and all the bullshit that got started
because of all that. I'm sorry, but I can't help all that. Also, many
of my posts recently haven't been just random pics. They've either been
sets with names of boys or by a specific subject: boys blowing bubbles,
sleeping, blond haired boys, etc. So, to some degree, I am not just
posting randomly. Either way, I do plan to post whatever I please. If
it upsets you, then I can't help that. I will, however, continue to
post specific things either based on names of boys or certain subjects.
I won't just post a bunch of random pics. And even if I did post random
pics, so what? Also, if you don't like how pics get mixed up with text
posts, then I recommend you get a newsreader that lets you separate
binary posts from text posts. And for material that is hard to find
because someone posts too much stuff, some newsreaders have a search
function that lets you search for binary posts. So, if you typed in
Jimmy for example, you could easily get all of those posts. Newsleecher
is a good one. It's not free though so you'd have to get a hacked
version. Anyway, like I said, let's not let this turn into fighting.
PLEASE. Whatever ANYONE decides to post on here, as long as it's on
topic, should be welcome by ALL! I VERY MUCH enjoy this group and will
NOT let anyone on here ruin it for me. Let's all try our VERY BEST to
keep the peace! :)
