: Let me try to put this in plain English.

: OnTheDash has approximately 3,000 images on
: the website -- photos and scans

: some of these photos are mine; many been
: submitted / sent-in by readers all around
: the world . . . maybe 60 or 80 different
: guys

: to take a single photo, and put it on the
: website (or to put it on this discussion
: forum), requires considerable effort --
: download; rename; resize; upload; add
: caption; etc. . . . hundreds or thousands of
: hours, when you consider the entire website
: . . . still, I am usually happy to do this
: -- good for the website / good for our
: readers

: it also takes a considerable effort to track
: "which photos are where on the
: website?" and "which photos came
: from which reader?"

: I have uploaded and managed every single one
: of these images, all by myself . . . nothing
: particularly heroic, but it may help you
: understand the human element of this whole
: thing . . . hundreds or thousands of hours
: of effort

: this is why I have the language in the
: "legalese" that says that someone
: who submits a photo to OnTheDash gives
: OnTheDash the right to continue to display
: it, forever . . . I would never add a photo,
: if the person who submitted it insisted on
: the right to pull it, whenever he felt like
: it . . . this just would not be workable

: for anyone to come along and demand that I
: remove all their photos immediately (or even
: over the course of a few days, weeks or
: months) is impossible and unfair -- it will
: damage the website; it will waste too much
: of my personal time; it sets a bad precedent
: . . . you can take your marbles and go home,
: but you can't take my marbles or the marbles
: that you contributed to the group.
: I hope that this helps you understand why I
: cannot agree to remove specific photographs
: whenever demanded by one of our readers /
: photographers. I appreciate all the
: photographs, and all the photographers, but
: I cannot be subject to these sorts of
: demands. It's just not workable, with a
: "hobby" website, for which a
: single person manages all the iamges.

: Thanks,

: Jeff

: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi Jeff, maybe you can not read my post, I know it is hard , Heck you dont see me posting photos on this site.( you have posted most of my photos for me) I do post a lot of photos but not here as it is time consumong as you said. I know that, again I and I know others thank you!!!! and can not thank you enough!

But it has nothing to do with posting the photos. you guys blasted this other guy long before he knee jerked and said fine then I am out of here. with out any civel conversation about his ?s

See KAV and my posts. Kav wrote well < i can undersatnd problems with my post but he said it well .

Its about ?s and we know there have been ahole lot more negitive things said on this site about other watchmakers and yet not a peep. Just because we know hans and some of us know the family doesnt mean others do, Just as some of us Me. do not know the guys in other countries you guys put down with real slander, even if true. Thats all where saying.

read the post you refered to. I belaeve I said we could of set the AMT guy(woman)? on a even keel with all our good words. and Most important Maybe AMT had a bad dael with protime and was not even in Hans hands.

There have been a few things said I know of about a bad deal or combacks, something and yet no negitive repreimands, This seems to hit a sore spot like there is somthing personal. now your even getting mad.
If you can not understand what I am saying, please feel free to email me your # and a time to call, and or aske me for mine No problem. asthis is just nuts. I can no longer write well with my health issues and its again PLAN BAD for your SITE.
