[Geysers] Oversized pictures -- A Warning

[Libby Medley]

Thanks, David!  We experienced the same problem, and suggest that such
photos should be posted on a website somewhere instead of sent through
email.  Libby & Jay Medley

Enough!

There is no reason to post pictures that are over 1Mb in size.  For
viewing 
on most monitors, jpegs less than 200kb are more than adequate.  In
fact, 
for most of what we are sharing 100kb is more reasonable.  Large file
sizes 
are needed if you plan to print the picture or need to zoom into fine 
detail but they are not needed on the geyser list.  For those of us that

are still on dial-up, these large files are a disaster.  I waited over
90 
minutes for todays mail to download.  I found the pictures interesting,
but 
I would have appreciated them more if I hadn't had to wait.

Please watch your file sizes.  If this continues to be a problem, more 
Draconian measures may be taken.

Dave
