Slow learner, not exactly.. Missinformed people that aren't quite sure how bandwidth works, perhaps.
Being a moderator on 2 other sites (LS1tech and 831ccr) I find it quite odd that there is a mandate to not show pics that are hosted on a different site for the wrong reasons. Yes, there is a small fraction of requested bit data that goes through the bolt, but we are talking minute.
This message I just typed requires more bandwidth than the pics I am showing.
As for people with dial ups. I can understand that part. From now on, I am willing to put "Not dial up friendly" in the title if that would make people happy. But there is always a stop and back button.
I'm not trying to be a jerk about it. The other sites that I help on like to share info. That is simply what I am trying to do.
