It isn't just an issue of "don't like". Pictures take up much
more room than text, and will cause premature expiry of
discussion messages, among other matters. Also, some news servers
will simply drop binaries on the floor when found in discussion
groups.

Important general point: the strictures of so-called "netiquette"
all have very good reasons behind them; they are never arbitrary
rules dreamt up by boffins, even if those reasons are not
necessarily obvious. Follow netiquette to improve your
communication via email and newsgroups; disregard netiquette, and
diminish your ability to communicate on-line.

Thanks, I didn't know why you couldn't post pics.
