Oh yes! I am with Bill R from Ohio, agree that this feuding goes on
every time some posts these huge pic files.
We don't all have state of the art equipment or latest & greatest
I just can't take the time as I have several groups to visit so I just
"delete"
them especiall the big grainy ones. It seems to speed up my downloading &
I am not on dialup.

Gee, what did I start here...I thought this is suppose to be a fun place
to be. I don't plan to resize the pictures (there are hundreds that I
will be posting in the future). So post your own micro-sized pictures if
you like. If you don't like my pictures size, it's simple, don't view
them. It's like turning off the radio when you don't like the
program. -Donn


Donn,

You didn't start it. It has been going on for a few years now and usually
gets more active when someone posts a lot of BIG pictures.

You are right, its your choice and you can do what you want. However, you
should know that a lot of people will skip your posts because of size. I
know a lady who is a GREAT gardener and she loves looking at other
people's gardens. HOWEVER, she only has dialup, so your posts are not
ones she can view (your large posts take over 5 minutes to view via her
dialup connection) and she wasn't impressed by the several she saw from
you.

The idea when we created this group was to share our pictures with others
and I will still do that in a "reasonable" size or anyone can view them.
The "mine is bigger than yours" people (like yourself) that have just
about taken over this group are, IMO, just being snobbish. Bigger does not
make your pictures look better. And I could post pictures just as large
(or larger) as you do but I do have consideration for the people that
don't have hi speed connection or don't want to have to do anything extra
(like additional software) to view pictures.
