There are two ways.

1. Put the photos on a web site and put the link here.

2. Post them in alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking. Note that some people's
newsservers don't get all the pictures.

I don't have a web site. Are there "public" web sites that will let me
post photos or rent space?

2. Post them in alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking. Note that some people's

That would work, but my server (CIS-DFN) doesn't support binaries.
Anyway, I'd rather post it here.

Either on the binaries woodworking group, or a link to a web page that
you set up. I do mine with the latter, as the photos will eventually
roll off the binaries group.

Your preference is irrelevant: this isn't a binaries group. Most servers
quietly drop binary attachments in non-binaries groups.
Alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking is the established place for posting
pictures relevant to this group.

In any event, if your server doesn't support binaries, you can't post it here
either.

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

I do know about both free and paid web hosting. I was trying to avoid
the hassle of setting up a web site just for one or two photos.

Thanks

Your comment to the second point struck me as odd. "Anyway, I'd rather
post it here." This is a text group and ABPW is the group you should
post the pictures to rather than here. I understand your ISP won't
allow you to post binaries anywhere, but I just wanted to clarify that
ABPW would be the proper place and not here.

Since you don't have a web site and your ISP won't allow you access to
binary groups then it sounds like the best way for you to post photos is
to change one of the above.

Yes, I understand that. I meant that I would rather post the message
here with a link to the photo than post the binary to ABPW.

I thought I had seen some posts here with links to photos that looked
like they were using some other mechanism. Maybe I was mistaken as I
can't find any examples.

PS: Not that it matters, but it's it's the news server, not the ISP,
that won't accept binaries.

Cool. You could send the photos to someone that can post on ABPW. You
wouldn't be able to see them yourself, but the rest of us could and with the
text posted here you'll see the replies.

Interesting question.

Actually, there are always (many) more than 2 candidates, but the two
major political parties have almsot total control of the election
system so that there are effectively only two choices. The democrats
are still flaming mad at Nader for daring to be a candidate and
messing up the tight little game they have going with the republicans
-- kinda like the republicans and Perot.

There aer powerful forces at work to ensure that there are only two
candidates. And neither of them work for you and me. They work for the
parties. And the parties work for the lobbyists.

You do the math.

I'm puzzled. Are you:

a. Trying to pull my chain?

b. Just having a bad day and a little cranky?

c. A jerk or a troll?

d. Pretending to be stupid and/or illiterate?

e. Genuinely stupid and/or illiterate?

How about

f. None of the above.

You have things you would like to post. You can't do it, but you could
email the photos to one of us who can. With a primary thread on this
newsgroup, you would be able to get the feedback.

Sounds like a reasonable offer to me. ;-) Email them to me and I'll post
them. I have access to two newsservers that accept binaries.

Larry,

Sorry for my previous post. That was uncalled for. I misread your
post. I should have "thought twice, posted once". You were only trying
to help. Sorry.

I could find a newsserver that supports binaries, but, as I tried to
explain, I thought I had seen people posting links here and I was just
asking if there was some way to do that without setting up my own
website. I'll sign up with a newsserver that permits binaries and psot
to ABPW.

rec.crafts.metalworking has a "drop box" where people can post pictures.
http://metalworking.com/DropBox/

I would like to do the same with my site but I don't know enough to set it
up.

No problem; done it once or twice myself. I was thinking of sending you a
copy of my Mensa id card though just to eliminate a couple of the choices...
