nice quote at the end there ski311. made me chuckle.
i think i pretty much agree with some of the last few comments above. it's not reasonable to say that there should be nothing posted that doesn't directly relate to skiing, because much of the experience of this site has become each members identity that is kinda formed as a result of their comments and opinions, pics, vids, etc, and for people to be themselves, a lot of the time that means skiing, albeit a hobby, is not the dominating force that rules someone's life, esp. during the warmer months. i think that limiting how one can express their individuality like that would only detract from a good aspect of what this site has become. do i appreciate a flood of lame pictures that i don't want to look at...no, but i don't have any right to say someone else can't post them. complaining about it might cause a little change, but then i would become just about as annoying to others as what bothered me in the first place. so my opinion is that it's best to go with the flow, with gentle reminders in the event somebody really hinders anyone elses opportunity to enjoy themselves with what the site can bring. no need to have a comment on every face shot with a little "myspace" bash. i have a picture of my face on the profile, and some comments on it that say i was fishing for attention or something stupid, when really, it's just so people can see what i look like and b/c i liked the pic. and i'm a guy, so the commotion would be 100x more with a female...maybe 1000000x with a real 'beauty'. everyone should just chill a bit, and let peace dominate your hearts, as a friend once said to me.
