Hey Brian,

Yes, it's commercially made, looks almost new and yes, I have a few photos.

Is there a way to post photos on this newsgroup ?


Technically, yes -- but it is against the guidelines for usenet
discussion groups. Binary attachments (pictures, sound files, programs,
and other non-text files are only allowed in newsgroups which have
"binaries" as part of the newsgroup name. Posting binaries to
non-binary groups can lose you your net connection, if somione complains.

Yes -- *you* are posting to Google, but it is really gatewayed
to a usenet newsgroup which is made available via the web on Google for
those who don't have access to a news server, or who prefer web based
access.

However -- there is a legal way to make images available to
those who read this newsgroup. It is called the dropbox.

Connect to http:/www.metalworking.com/

Click on the yellow bar which offers "About the dropbox", and
read how to post images to it. (*Please* read the guidelines about file
names as well -- in particular please avoid spaces in file names.
Replace them with underscores '_' or dashes '-'.)

Once you have sent your images to the dropbox, and have
confirmed that they are there (they may be held up for virus scans and
such), *then* post to the newsgroup giving the names by which the files
may be accessed. And remember to include the URL for the dropbox (which
I gave above), for those who don't yet know it by heart.

Good Luck,
DoN.
