No one has ever been locked out of the mailing list. If he can't post,
then:
1. The mail that the list is sending him has bounced enough to trigger an
automatic unsubscribe. The fix is to re-subscribe and figure out why your
mailbox is rejecting list mail.
2. He is trying to post from an email address different from the subscribed
address. To prevent SPAM,
only subscribed addresses may post.
3. He has a Yahoo or Hotmail or AOL account, which are always having
problems of one sort or another far beyond my control.
I don't recall hearing anything from him, but I have a short memory. I
would have responded exactly as above. I have no idea what problem he is
having.

Subject: M_Boats: Photo Site Shutting Down
Hi Rick,
I don't want to get into the middle of all this, but since I seem to be
the conduit here (Bill tells me that he's been locked out of posting here
for some reason), I think it's important that we keep our facts straight.
The Photo Site is Bill's creation. I know, because I helped him a bit
with getting his site up and running. The photos on the MSOG site that
were there before Bill started his project are still there. You can see
for yourself at:
http://www.msog.org/boatos/boatos.cfm
But all the photos and all of the other items on the Photo Site were
definitely not there before Bill did all the work to put them up on the
web for us to use. Some of them may have existed in other places on the
web before Bill compiled them on his. But he brought them all together in
one place.
So the Photo Site that Bill developed is his and his alone, to do with as
he pleases. He doesn't own the rights to the photos contained within,
they belong to whoever granted him the license to display them on his
site. And those generous people will retain the right to those photos if
Bill's site disappears. They are not, and never have been the property of
the MSOG site.
Now I don't have a clue as to why Bill is thinking of taking his site
down. But he apparently thinks that he's been locked out of posting here.
I don't know if that's true, and I'm certainly not making any
accusations. All I know is that is what he's told me. And he's told me
little else. Perhaps someone who knows what the facts are can clear all
this up. I certainly can't.
But the Photo Site is his creation, and I just wanted there to be no
misconceptions about that. I think it's a valuable resource for us all
and I'd certainly like to see it stay here. But like I said, I really
don't have a clue what's going on here. Like you, I'd like some
explanation as to what this situation is all about.
OK, I'll shut up now.
David

The Photo site use to belong to the MSOG site, before Bill got involved
with
it. He moved it to his own domain for what was described as technical
reasons. I don't think that gives him ownership of the photos and I
don't
think all the contributors of photos ever expected their pictures to
disappear into the vastness of the internet.
Bill, if you're reading this, I hope all is well with you and I hope you
explain directly to us what this situation is all about.
