Ghurd,
And to reiterate what I have said above, why would they bother, they think people are not interested in them, or that their projects are not good enough.

If they do spend the time and effort, they are lost in no time at all to piffle posts... for all that effort.

So they give you the pics (rats), and shy away from the board because there is no overt mechanism to support their effort. Obviously no overt effort to make them feel that they and their project matter to us at all.... perhaps it has become big brotherish, and like the government... we don't really care, just gasbag about it.

Perhaps they intuitively know that if they post it it will be ignored and lost in minutes. How do we stop them thinking like that..... perhaps thats the question?

Bent1 didn't do a story, just pics, I can only assume that he felt it not worth the effort.... I hope not.

I fall into that group for a different reason.  My stuff is all starting to look the same and less interesting, even to me.
Summer slows everything down, even for things like resizing pics or making my next muffin fan windmill.  There just isn't time. (he said while reading fieldlines)
Things overlap too.  I was excited to put up some photos of a few (non working) Peltons I just saw during holiday in Alaska, wife didn't have time to resize them and I don't do it so well.
Then TheCasualTraveler posted his Grandfather's stuff.  I figured I'd wait.
And I can't even find the newer photos in the "insert" list.  They must be there.
