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.

When I see Jack's name as the poster, I click on the thread to see what treasure he is sharing.

Jack,
I didn't want to belabor the obvious...
Your pictures are the Posts I STILL check out when I only have a few minutes to scan WIX.

I have shared a couple with friends, and always look forward to more.

Yes.

Yeah, I was there too... Actually DaveM2 invited me there from an armor forum. I posted some armor photos from Beijing on the armor forum and Dave suggested I post the aircraft stuff on the WW forum.

Jack, If you stop posting you might as well shut this Sum-Bitch down.

I stand in front of you taking bullets if I have to to keep you posting on here.

Seems like years ago....oh wait, it was. I kinda think the early years of the forums (WWW and then the Refugees era) were the best, purely as the board was a lot more international in those days with some great input from the likes of Indiana Tony, Cees and even Steven Grey of TFC and Steve Hinton.....nostalgia!

Oh, Jack keep on posting, at least you have interesting info to go along with the pics and they are from your private collection, rather than web based as per the 'link man' :wink:
