Fair enough

Here's what it does at the very least.
A picture takes up a lot more space & most ISPs determine how long
they leave posts on their server by how much room they take up. A
couple pictures could make all but the last couple days unavailable on
a lot of servers.

Other ISPs just kill any messages with attachments sent to text
groups. [Mindspring did when I was there-- and I know RR doesn't, but
somewhere downstream the attachment was stripped from Ellen's message]

If the ratio of pictures to text gets too high, many servers will just
drop the group altogether. That's what binary groups [or the web]
are for.
