	This is not a solution for many of us who wish to view and answer
	the posts and share in the discussion. The general iris-talk list
	has a NO photos policy as well. There is a reason for that policy.

	Chris Hollingshead and others suggested that our photos would
	be conveniently viewed on the iris-photo list and I now concur.
	There was not a vote taken and if there were, it would be
	meaningless if 10 or more folks were having great difficulty
	in viewing the pix. This is supposed to be fun and relatively
	easy for us all. That includes the managers of this list.
	I receive complaints every time an image or attachment jams
	somebody's computer. (Sometimes complaints are received
	without computer difficulties. ;)

	If we also want to expose folks to one of our favorite irises,
	the iris-photo list is one place to do it. It matters not a
	whit that the 'mug-shot' of a typical TB is the norm there.
	I dislike them as well. They serve a purpose if one is trying
	to expose the public to a new iris and also are useful in
	trying to i.d. an iris (Mike Lowe would know that much better
	than I). I think garden shots of Siberians would be welcome
	on the iris-photo list. Diversification is always interesting
	and welcome in most groups.

>I can remember

	The shared area is still an option. Anyone having difficulty in
	downloading attachments, I recommend one of the web-based free email
	vehicles. That way your primary email vehicle(s) are not tied up
	or freezing your computer or worse.

	Best,
