conceivable angle. This one was taken from a
photograph by a guy who happened to be standing directly under the
plane as it came down. Pulitzer Prize material. At least the camera
was saved.
Also, checksums are nice, for people with access to sum programs. It
helps people identify erroneous transmissions. Usually people include
things like
Checksums: (obtained with 4.2 BSD 'sum' or SysV 'sum -r')
between 'CUT HERE lines':

In the case where someone is going to be posting several pictures of
a series, they sometimes choose to post an "index" picture that contains
the entire series, each at a smaller scale. This is great, it gives
everyone a chance to see if they're interested in the series at all, but
this does NOT mean that the poster should not use descriptions in the
individual postings! And a description of "this is the third pictures
from the index I posted the other day" doesn't cut it, either. As for
the "index" posting itself, a simple description of the entire series is
probably in order, but it's not necessary to describe each picture of the
series. Also, make sure that the index pictures aren't so small as to
make them unrecognizable - otherwise you're just wasting bandwidth! The
best format for an index posting is nearly always going to be JPEG, since
it can handle 24 bits worth of color. Even if the pictures of the index
are all 8-bit GIFs (256 colors), it's very unlikely that they all use the
*same* 256 colors - posting the index in GIF loses *a lot* of color, since
all the individual picture colors need to be re-mapped in order to share
a common set of 256 colors.
If you have a GIF file, don't bother trying to run s
