If the OP really wanted to do something useful, they would upload the pictures to all the binaries they could think of and try to persuade anyone who opens the thread to propagate the pictures to any binaries they can think of, the first reply after mine demonstrates the level of reluctance to open potentially suspicious websites so the effective publicity from a website is much less than covering the binaries. With the number of missing children world wide, this would soon render the already ailing USENET completely useless. Europe needs to do what this group has for the USA: http://www.codeamber.org It ties the internet, news media and law enforcement's efforts together, into a single effort to find the child. The more fragmented the search, the lower the chances are that they will be found alive. That a look at the home page of my website to see how it works. There is a live banner at the bottom of the page that lets you know about active alerts, and by clicking on any of them it will take you to more information at their website. http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/index.html -- Service to my country?

The current publicity surrounding this case could be the catalyst for creating something similar across Europe. |

The current publicity surrounding this case could be the catalyst for creating something similar across Europe. It would have a lot more impact if suggested by someone in Europe, not the US. A lot of groups already have a bad case of NIH, and its even worse when it comes from a foreign country. Some large newspaper or news organization should start it, and sell logo only ads to corporate sponsors. I would think that if the contact the http://www.codeamber.org people they would help them with the initial setup. They already have a working system, why not share it, or license it to others? If you hear them yaking about it on some news program and they ask for comments, ask them why they don't at least have something like what the US has had for years? That ought to stir them up. :-) -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |
