OK peoples this is the 4th time I or BT has had to clean up a picture thread. There are endless discussions in Ingo and endless opportunity's to start new ones. Take them but stop posting discussions in these threads. No more warnings. None.
Stop wasting my time.

And no there was no report on this we have been checking.

I think the point is patriotic pictures not commentary. IMHO. When I see this thread updated I come here looking for uplifting pictures.
