    Ever realise that no matter what you do, it's never good enough and sometimes you just have to be a little $#@€ to get your point over before they understand that they screwed up!

      Who cares who wants to follow you? I use Flickr for my enjoyment, adding other people to 'like' my page certainly doesn't enhance that enjoyment.

      What blueeighties said. If you are only adding these people to gain followers, and 500 in a day would suggest that, calm down and just enjoy it. Tag photos and let people find you naturally. Then any follows are because they like your work.

      I agree with Phil and blueeighties I have about 90 followers Phil and Blueeighties included I use Flickr for mostly reference and of course for looking through rose tinted glasses.

      This does bring some closure, there is still one person missing at the site at Bosley and they haven't found him yet.

      Correct. What if it has to go through a tunnel or run during periods of poor visibilty, for example.
