[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]You make it sound so. . . inclusive. The reality was anything but. In fact, it was made quite clear that the pics were going to be disseminated only to a chosen few who'd then quite happily discuss them openly, while those of us not blessed to be Acolytes Of The True Church Of Fanwankery were left to grovel in the dirt hoping for maybe a chance to touch the hems of your garments. It was the sheer outrage which that policy generated that led to the eventual widespread publication of the images - that, and the fact that one of the Chosen Few didn't agree with the policy and sent them to the rest of us anyway.[/QUOTE]Lee, i can see why you and others would think that way. But there was a bit more going on than what you knew. And since the matter has been over for some time, I'll just explain now: When said person sent me the pics, the first thing I did was to ask him for permission to post them on Flare. He was reticent at first, so instead I sent the pics to Bernd & the rest of the then "Wolf 359 Research team" not because I was trying to be an "Acolyte Of The True Church Of Fanwankery" as you so distinctly put it, but because Bernd et al. would have been able to make computer graphic diagrams of the ships so that you all could at least see what they looked like, if not to view the actual models themselves. I don't know how to make computer diagrams. They did. If I did know, I'd have done it without showing the pics to anyone. And yes, I also knew that I could trust them not to distribute the pics. Not that I wouldn't trust anyone else at Flare, but in my mind they were the logical people to send the pics to at the time (because of our loyalty to other sources like Okuda & Sternbach who sent us pics in the past) In the meantime, while this was going on, I was still in contact with my source, & was still asking him if I could make the pics public. But by that time, everyone was acting like such children about it (and please don't say you all weren't, because you were), that someone just showed the pics anyway. The reason I'm writing this is because your post seems (to me anyway) to be a personal attack on me and the few others who make up the group, and I'm simply defending myself. Should I have done things differently? Maybe. But I was the one who contacted the guy, and I was just trying to do the right thing while trying my best to let you guys at Flare be in on everything step-by-step. In the future, I'll just keep my mouth shut when I get a picture of something until I get permission to show it. NOw back to our regularly scheduled Flare topic: The Emmette! ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
