You guys need to communicate this to me!  I know it's not your fault that
the site doesn't meet your needs, but it's not going to change unless
someone tells me what they need.

I was trying to solicit testers for a system a couple of years ago that 
would allow image use, Web-based posting, and a threaded pumpkins newsgroup,
but nobody responded.  :(

The biggest reason for disallowing images and attachments was file size.
With 517 people on the list, the network traffic used to send out files
was too great -- a 100K image suddenly becomes 51MB of email traffic.
That's not too bad, but if there were lots of images being passed around...

Now, the question is whether or not it's too late to make whatever changes
you wanted or if you guys prefer the other forums.
