In the beginning I was quite selective as well. Storing on floppies, and
later on ZIP-disks. (100 MB!!)
I think I had the same criteria. (Sans culottes!)
But nowadays, with many gigabytes on a HD.....
I'm not sure when and where I got all these pictures, but a few years ago
there were quite a lot of great posters. They posted complete series.
And I remember Johnie once posting all his series himself.
Now you are one of the few. You're doing a great job.
