Yes.
I don't think the critical difference between HGUCSU's posts and Jack's has been highlighted, although it has been mentioned.
Jack posts his own collection, captions and comments, responds to questions and takes input on the threads. Most of what he posts is material new to the majority. His contribution to preservation and research is proven, though he doesn't wave his flag here, unless there's good reason to bring extra insight.
HGUCSU's posts are just links, with varying remarks attached. There's nothing wrong with that, it's a reasonable contribution (although I'd like to see them grouped into single threads, rather than loads) but not in any way comparative. HGUCSU has taken some suggestions to modify what he does (something we all get at times in life) as personal criticism; which it wasn't, and his reaction has hardly helped.
Time to learn, and move on, perhaps.
