[FM Discuss] Netiquette Re: SPRINT ON COLLABORATION - LIMA PERU

[Wesley Parish]

Could I suggest that the pictures be put on a website and you use a URL to point
to them?  Rather than sending them directly?

some of us are on dialup, and dialup which takes glitching to an artform
besides, and having more than a few kilobytes to download not only takes up
valuable time, it also increases the chance that the dialup will glitch itself
into oblivion and we will have to restart downloading the email all over again,
in which we will most probably face yet another glitch and yet another restart
of the email download .... ad nauseam ...

thanks
