Hi all,

I have seen several pictures posted to the entire list recently.
This used to be unwanted in the past, because it costs bandwidth
for *everyone* who is subscribed, not only the ones particularly 
interested in the pictures.

OTAH, I would rather have sent one or the other little image 
myself, rather than making long verbal descriptions, but I
didn't so far, because of the "rules".

Now speed and bandwidth surely have improoved meanwhile,
so it would make sense to loosen the rules a little. 
So I don't want this to be a "don't post pictures" post. But we
should find a general rule about pictures, IMO. At least a size
limit. 

What do you think ?
