I have been watching this NG, have not seen anything on it but spam, I say

Do you post pictures just like regular e-mails?

Yes, just add an attachment or paste it into the body if you are posting via
html.

Why bother?  We can either post them via tinypic.com and then post the
link here, or we can put them on a googlepages site... Google makes it
easy enough that *any* idiot should be able to do it... Hell, my 11 yr
old daughter is even able to handle it...

<chop>

Because it has scuba in the name, and it takes only a couple mouse clicks,
and because we can kick the nuts off the spammers.

What is your problem?

If it is a text newsgroup, many ISPs will automatically strip binary
postings to the newsgroup... The binary postings will not be archived,
thus after a certain point determined by each different news server,
the older ones will disappear... If it is worth posting, it is worth
keeping it around for a prolonged time...

I'm a grumpy old man... What's your excuse? <grin>

For a classical (expiring) newsgroup, if its on-topic to scuba, you
should be able to use:

alt.binaries.images.underwater

Just be aware that Google doesn't archive most (all?) of the binaries
groups, so you'll need a regular news server account.

http://www.frappr.com/recscuba
You can post pictures on your frappr home page and map your location.
Easy to sign up, easy to use and it kills two birds with one stone.

According to
http://www.faqs.org/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/Bogus_Usenet_Groups/19981026,
this group is classified as 'bogus' and should be replaced with
rec.scuba.equipment... Basically, it's an orphaned name that should be
deleted...

Not all news servers carry it... Google Groups doesn't... Neither does
the RoadRunner news servers...

Getting tired of sheep?  Figure you'll try something a bit riskier?

as for sheep, You've got us mixed up with the Aussies across the
tasman sea. We eat sheep, and do a mean mutton roast, while they eat
the sheep out :D

Is it better to do the sheep after you've cooked it than before?
