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.
