Symmetric fiber here, bandwidth is not an issue.
But, doesn’t pretty much everyone have a Flickr or Picassa account, or similar?
It’s easier to post links. That way readers can look if they want to, have
time, interest, etc.
Also, for those reading on mobile devices (more and more common), there are
usually rather strict bandwidth allowances, although those too are disappearing
fast.

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

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.
