My vote would be Dave's site if he has the time for it...

I've posted them on http://www.avalon.net/~jrt/guzzi.html I would have never thought of the setup John used. I'm really happy it sent the pictures in. There's a couple other pictures, mainly for placeholding, but when I get time, I'll make a coherent website. For now its just a couple of pictures. But it got me thinking- in this group, someone posts a picture, or wants to, on a fairly regular basis. Sometimes it goes onto Dave's site, or maybe EldoMike's or sometimes onto someone else's- there's no real organization or pattern to it. Kind of like most of us, huh? So I propose that we nominate a website that can archive photos from the group. It need not have any real thread except that all the photos would be loopframe in subject or relating to a discussion on this list. Two websites come to my mind offhand- Dave Otis' site, www.loopframe.com and the 'official' MGNOC site by Luap McKeever, www.wildguzzi.com. Perhaps a page with pictures or thumbnails/links, and a date or subject heading to identify the pic. Whoever submits a photo for the list could then just send a note, instead of posting a binary (good nettiquette), and submit the referenced picture and thumbnail to the curator. I would also propose that the submittor (is that a word?) should make the thumbnail, to reduce the work of the curator. Next thing you know, we'll have a FAQ. I'm not trying to limit this or put work on anyone- it's just a suggestion. Whoever wants to step up to the plate is fine with me. I don't have time to properly keep up with it, so I respectfully submit that someone else do it. And by the way, if other's send pictures to me, I'll still post them. I don't mind doing it; I just think it might be better to have a 'central' location in the long run. It's that whole anal-rententive, type A personality that I've got going on. Anyhow, thanks for sending in the pictures, John! Dam* Guzzi's are cool! Cheers, Jason John Engelhard wrote:
