Friends,

I don't think there is anything unfriendly about sending photos via this 
list. In reviewing the photos that Lars sent me privately, they ranged 
from very small (200 KB) and corrupt (probably incomplete files) to very 
large (up to 2.5 MB), a bit large to be e-mailing internationally. The 
photos he attached to his list message were small and corrupt.

In setting up ulf-1.com, it was my desire to not only promote Dieter's 
design, but to provide a forum for its community that is classier than a 
Yahoo group, and free from advertising. To each his own, but in the 
regard of promotion, I don't think a Yahoo group will be very visible to 
those searching for information on the ULF-1. Following the google 
search I just did for "ulf-1", Dieter's site was the first return and 
ulf-1.com was the second. Exactly as it should be, in my opinion. In all 
the googling I've done, I don't recall ever being directed to a Yahoo group.

It's curious that it took an announcement that this site and list might 
be discontinued to prompt a burst of interest and activity. If this was 
the norm, I'd be happy to keep it going. But I still think that Dieter 
should pay for it, and I have seen no interest from him in that regard. 
(It's less than $20 US for 1 year registration and privacy protection 
for the webmaster.)
