You are just another "newbie" who just doesn't get it. I have been
reading and posting in this newsgroup for over 12 years and it is just
in the past year or so that people (newbies) have become so
inconsiderate as to bash a poster who they don't agree with. There is
no reason to post a 20 x 28 inch picture in a usenet newsgroup (and some
are posting larger pictures than that). The usenet binary newsgroups
are for causal viewing, not "full resolution" pictures. At one time we
(the people that stated this group) suggested that pictures be limited
to 5 x 7". I think that is still a reasonable size. If you want to
post larger pictures, post them on a web site (like I do).


The size of pictures posted here are not measured in inches. They are
measured in bits and/or bytes.
