Greetings Rick,
Well...
Since it is your request to add your name to the photo(s), I did not feel
it
was appropriate to bother Bones to get in the middle of your wishes, and
possibly label photos incorrectly. I felt it best to communicate directly
with you. Sorry if this is a problem. And, if you will re-read the post, I
did not ask for your E-mail address. I said I did not have it and asked
you
to contact me. You could use any E-mail address. I simply wanted you to
respond directly, so as to label photos properly the first time.
The link to the page for Bonita is:
http://www.msogphotosite.com/m17bonita.html
When you look at the photos, let's say they are left to right 1-5 top row
and left to right 1-5 bottom row.
May I ask you, to ask the other participants of the trip (I do not know
who
they are) to look and see if I need to add names under other photos. They
are more than welcome to contact me direct from any E-mail address they
choose. It may be more appropriate for you to ask them, than for me to
post
the request on the list as the others may also think I have an agenda.
The rest of your E-mail.
Agenda? What could it possibly be? I do not charge for my services, I do
not think I have ever been mean to you? I do not think I have asked you
for
anything in the past? I take that back... I remember when I made a page
for
Bluebird, March 2006, I E-mailed you a couple of times for info and did
not
get a response (I believe I'm right on that - maybe not).
Do you have any reason to believe I have an agenda? Is there a reason I
should have an agenda? Let's do this... If you feel I have been rude,
demeaning, mean or in any way not responsible, maybe we should talk it
out.
You are more than welcome to give me a call (541) 912-2179. I am pretty
easy to talk to.
The rope I need? I do the Photo Site as a labor of love. I'm disabled,
even
after four surgeries (more to come), will never sail again (most likely),
and contribute to the list as a participant who does not sail, but stays
involved because of the love of water sports.
Spending time at the keyboard is at the very least, painful. I had to
purchase a wireless keyboard and articulated mount, that allows the
keyboard
to be nearly vertical so as to not cause my neck and shoulders to spasm
and
put me in bed. However, that being said, I do the Photo Site because I
want
to and if you'll recall I do not complain to the list about the pain,
discomfort or expense. It is no-ones business, nor do I ask for sympathy
for
what I go through.
Bandwidth to view the Photo Site. That is Bandwidth that I donate and pay
for and have never limited use, nor suggested it. I believe that is
apparent
when I notify the list when a new page is added. Now at 178 pages and over
1900 photos, that takes bandwidth!
Maybe what I should have said; I do not want to go through the FTP process
time and time again for something that should be completed on the first
publish. At this time, I'll say Bones was remiss for not knowing to give
me
the names of the photographers, but he, like I probably did not think it
is
that big of a deal. Unless of course, the photographer is a professional
and
adding the photos to his/her resume. I assume nothing. If you or any of
the
group are in that category, let me know. I'd be happy to add non-sailing
photos to a special page to assist.
At this point, and as I see it, you have several choices:
1. Ask me to remove the photos you have contributed (unknowingly).
2. Ask me to label the photos you have taken
3. Call me and we'll talk about it.
However, there is little point in flaming me or being mean, If that is
your
intent (I assume nothing). Be advised I do not flame back. I have always
allowed others to make their own decisions and the flamer is usually the
one to be criticized when all is said and done.
Again. sorry to have given you concern that I was being in any way rude or
have an agenda.
Best regards,
Bill
P.s. Do you realize this E-mail is the first time you have stated you
appreciate my efforts? I thank you for the positive comment.

Bill,
It's not clear to me why you didn't get my email address from Bones and
not
bother the list with this request. It's also not clear as to your agenda
for explaining to the list why you want my email address.
So I figure I'll go along with your plan in order to give you all the
rope
you need.
By the way it also takes "bandwidth" to view the photo site. Are you
suggesting we limit our use of it? I hope that's not the case because I
really like the site and appreciate your effort and expertise in that
regard.
Rick
