Steve,

There is no reason to apologize, Steve. I reiterate what I stated 
earlier. The fact that you have hosted this over so many years has 
provided the industry as a whole with a lot of value. I know you are 
doing this on a voluntary basis. I am not trying to kick you to the curb 
here. This is not a response to you working slow. I just saw an 
opportunity for improvement.

My suggestion was NOT to change the format of the emails to HTML so I 
think we have a consensus there. Even though I have plenty of bandwidth 
I think a separate location for pictures is much more palatable. Sending 
the pictures to Picasa would support this.

If the IPC is willing to host the picture/document repository that would 
of course be even better. That would give the industry much better 
access to the picture library over time as well. I like this idea(even 
better than mine). It seems to be uniform support for this. Let's have 
IPC have a crack at it and we can try it out.
