B-Bye now Jim... I can't believe a fellow Oregonian (and high speed internet subscriber) would bother making their one and only post to the list a complaint.
Please keep the pictures coming runruny. They were all of manageable size and appear to be well taken. Using pictures to clarify a question or answer can be invaluable. Heck, if nothing else they liven up the list a bit. There was a time when the online world was nothing but text. Then again, there was a time some of us wore bell bottoms too! It's time to MOVE ON!
I for one would love to see daily pictures of some of the projects out there. It seems each of us have different methods and procedures for the same projects. I'm interested in seeing some of them described. If you've got a better way to set the solid rivets in a spar, post some pics. If you've got a picture of your project that you're particularly proud of, please send it out.
I'll follow the list rules because there are a few whiners out there that seem hell-bent on administrating the list on their own. I wonder if the dial up guys know the entire list is archived on the Matronics web-site? hmmm, imagine that, everything you're asking for (no embedded pictures and being able to chose whether or not to download each post) right at your fingertips. Oh my! Wait! I almost forgot you already have that! Why on earth would you not filter your email if you had a dial-up connection?!?!
Do Not Archive (Oh, and please Sir, don't ban me from the list because I choose to be one of those WITH a clue...)

I'm pretty much an internet neophyte, so I'm a little confused by your
vitriol. If you are referring to "runruny(at)..." I looked up his last two
posts out of curiosity. One dated 7/20 has a 1MB attachment (not a 13MB),
and the previous one is minuscule.

It is probable that your ISP filtered out the 13MB message so you never
saw it. Monty is correct in his complaint: "runruny(at)..." has sent two
extremely large e-mails with picture attachments - one that my e-mail
client (Mozilla Thunderbird) reports as being 1896 KB and the second as
13,508 KB. Sadly, the larger of the two was sent AFTER people
complained. (The photos were well done, at least.)
I have DSL, so normally such large isolated e-mails are not an issue.
But I also travel occasionally to places without high-speed internet and
have had to use dial-up from my laptop in order to keep up with work
stuff. Then those huge e-mails do become a serious problem.

The "runruny(at)..." person may be a fine pilot in front of the controls of
a plane, a great builder, and all-around gentleman, but probably
shouldn't be allowed in front of a computer again until he's had his
biennial computing review.  A couple of people have already posted
useful pointers on how to reduce image sizes before they are sent. I'm
not sure what else can be done, short of action by the

Here's a possible solution for dial up folks:
Change your subscription to the "Zenith List Digest." You will get one email each day with all the text, but no pictures. It's actually easier to read than the constant stream of emails.... You can just skip over these "non-contributing" posts.
(There. I said I wouldn't respond to this, but I did....)
