Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Just my $0.02 worth but...

Seems to me we're moving in the *wrong* direction by encouraging people
to remove pictures from the online gallery. I would think the more
pictures we have, the more useful these photo libraries would be to new
and existing users. I know that I've found the photo libraries helpful
for  ideas on how to setup my kit on stage, how to arrange the pads, etc.

I think purging these old files runs contrary to the value of the library
and the group as a whole. It just feels like the wrong direction.
Shouldn't we be *adding* resourses, not removing them to fit some
arbitrary limit imposed by some "Yahoo"? (pun intended!) :)
