Especially the ones you have been posting, right?

No. Not a repository. Get yourself a lesson in Usenet basics.

Hmm. The ones you have been posting are at which resolution ?

So, contributing nothing at all makes you a ludicrous joke? At best.

What is sickening is your condescending arrogance, especially coming from an
ignorant boor.
>History cannot be adequately preserved with a "postage stamp" image.
Preserve history? on a zero-quality-control, free-for-all internet forum?
Delusions of grandeur on top of total ignorance of the basics?
>All posters should educate themselves
Advice which you could have heeded before posting here.
>History is far too important to be entrusted to ignoramuses.
That's why it's not entrusted to you, however highly you think of yourself.
So far, you have simply shown yourself to be very ignorant about Usenet, about
History and about ways of preserving it. Arrogant and ill-mannered to boot.

Lest you'll wither away as one of the usual transient assholes polluting the
net, you are very much encouraged to start contributing. With relevant aviation
pictures and information tidbits, for instance.
We'll all love to be educated by example.
