Then you've been here for the discussions of space and lack of
descriptions and my warnings of deleting files and photos for lack of
sufficient description.

Life's not fair, get over it. How is it exactly you propose I go back
in time and retroactively "fix" this? Where do I find the time to go
through all the Photos and Files and then either hassle each person to
add a better description, or look up old messages and figure out what
to add myself?

The Monthly.txt gets sent to everyone when they join, and of course it
gets sent here monthly. There is some common sense involved here as
well. Why post a picture without a description as to why it is on this
list, when it will potentially be there for the life of the list?

It's in the Monthly.txt now, as a result of these discussions. I did
explain to you that you needed a better description of why the file
was on Homebrew_PCBs, the description on your 2nd try was just a
shortened version of the first description that described what it was,
not why it was here on this list.

So now you know, what is it exactly that you expect me to do? Since I
can't admin the list retroactively, then I can never change any
policy, since you might feel unfairly restricted?
