Unfortunately there is no area on the Freelists web site for
attachments. The several lists I belong to either allow attachments or
have some area at the host web site for them. There are good arguments
on both sides of this issue. For years I was on a dial-up, very slow and
eventually became too difficult to use. I still have it as a back up. I
think many on this list are now on some sort of broadband connection but
may have metered downloads. It would be interesting to do a survey of
members. Well poles are popular now so perhaps we can have our own. I
will start: I am on a fast DSL.

Folks:
This is a photographic list, but we can't see photos? Picture that (pun intended).

We have a couple of moderators and a list owner, Marc Small.
Used to be that low bandwidth dial up connections and metered
services made attaching jpgs cumbersome and expensive...
Now, just about everyone has some form of broadbandÂ
We would be interested in hearing from list members that feel
including jpgs would still be a hardship...
I'm thinking Marc would want to weigh in especially if we hear
from membership...
Folks,
Let's keep the current ban in effect for the present. Perhaps
those with slow connections for whom the posting of binaries would
be an issue could speak up.
