first of all, I want to say thanks for the many folks who chipped into sponsoring the list this year. we're on the legacy rate plan, and given our membership numbers, whether they're active or not, we'd pay about 20X our current rate at the latest pricing...
regarding members: we have 4619 "active" members - but 3680 of them get no emails - web only. So it's hard to say how many of them actually hit the pages.
regarding files and photos: it was not because our subscription lapsed, it was something I forgot about - I turned it off.? (This is because at the time I was helping admin a non-profit site that was getting polluted by spam-link files.) I've turned them back on. if we start getting polluted I'll have to turn them off again. please limit the resolution of the photos you upload. We don't need print-resolution copies. I'll set a limit on the image size to some reasonable resolution.
speaking of images, I guess some don't like the default "elephants" image I picked a long time ago. Given VW's propensity to threaten people using their logo and branding at the time, combined with having a vehicle that's a bit of an elephant at times... it seemed a reasonable choice. And not using the web interface very much, it just falls off may radar. For the moment, I've substituted a photo an EV keychain I 3d-printed a few years ago while testing a multi-material printer. I'll get around to updating it again though. I'll dig through the files and see what I can find.?
that's all for now. thanks again. good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
