As the OP on this one I think I owe some (many?) of you an apology and an explanation.
First of let me *apologise* for cross posting. I've been around the net long enough that I should know better but was just trying to save time (see below)
My fotopic site I referred to has several different types of photos, including North American models, UK models, and full size Canadian trains.
I chose 4 newsgroups as being ones that would attract like minded individuals who *may* be interested in seeing some of my photos (thanks to those who took the trouble to let me know by the way) as these are amongst the groups that I look at every day.
I have also come to realise by having a 'generalised' set of pictures that there would inevitably be some that would not be of interest to certain groups. That is why I am now starting to separate the photos into more distinct 'collections' that have a more specialised appeal. This would mean that in future I would only post to the relevant group when I have any new photos.
There was never any intention to 'spam'. I was just trying to save time by only making one posting. Again I will apologise if I have upset anyone. I am new to this fotopic lark and so I am still finding my feet when it comes to these matters. I welcome any *constructive* criticism and advice
I *think* I've managed to remove all but one group to this reply so there should no longer be any cross posting.
