 "I would like to say two things.

     First, there is quite a bit of difference in the work and
time involved in attaching a picture and putting one on a web page.
People that are more knowledgeable than I can make the difference
smaller, I'm sure, but attachments will always be easier. Certain
maximum standards could be used. Mine are 4" x 6" at 72 dpi. Perhaps
someone could suggest other standards that would still convey the
needed information at less memory cost."

Someone suggested that a member who has pictures in jpg form to share or ask
questions about could tell us that via the list and *offer* to send them to
those interested, via private e-mail. I think this is a great idea and a
wonderful compromise. 

     "Second, not everyone has a web page. So this group is being
excluded from showing their pictures or asking their pictorial
questions. I think it is a shame that they are being excluded because
someone's computer hasn't been upgraded or because they have a poor
ISP."

No one would be excluded from showing your pictures if we used the above 
process. Those whose systems are harmed by big files (as graphics files always
are) are excluded from any participation in the list until they fix the problem.
Charles, not everyone can afford to upgrade their computers,
and not everyone has a choice of what isp they can use or afford. Shall we
exclude people based on their economic standing?
