OK, I was the one who changed the name of the topic, but I have not confused
the issue.
My response was to Russ, who figured that Glenn was wrong and should be
posting goulish shots to obscure newsgroups.

the original message :
    Granville Train Disaster Page,Pics From The Day.
    < url removed>

Never claimed to be a tribute, but I clicked anyway.
My original thought was "nicked from Day of the Roses" and I closed the
page.

In fact, I hadn't given it much more thought, until I started reading the
insults.
What did you expect? A picture of the memorial plaque?
What did you honestly think was going to be posted under such a dubious
title?
Was it your goulish curiosity that got the better of you?

I suppose I would be some sort of Ogre if I published photographs of Clifton
Hill Signal box, it was involved in the Hoddle St "incident" years ago? My
knowledge that my photos contain a part of Melbournes albeit "black" history
is not sickening, its historical.

Some people only ever see things in black and white.. some of you guys
should get some "greyscale".. it allows you to look at the big picture.

I never said he wasn't?
