I routinely get 50KB posts that would be merely 2 or 3 if they were in
normal text (do huge letters convey some extra meaning?) ... it makes me
wonder what people sound like who consider that to be good aesthetics or
communication.

But then I sometimes get postings that are 100KB or more ... and that
really messes me up. (Yes, yes, I know, we poor folk should be grateful
to have even telephone access.)

And then once in a while ... 650KB?!!! Good grief ... evidence that rich
folk have lost their minds.

Please: just because you happen to have access to broadband and huge HDs
doesn't mean that everyone does.

And anyhow, it's easy enough to post things to the web ... though this
might involve both consideration and learning something ... both,
apparently, sources of great pain.

*sigh*

(And yes, I am cranky ... decades of this has worn me down)

[Moderator's Note: That large posting with the Baba pics, slipped right by me.
My apologies to all. To the rest of you with Baba pics, PLEASE, either post to
our Djembe-L PHOTO http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/djembe-l/lst or send to
happy@.... We'll all appreciate your thoughtfullness. Peace, HS]
