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.
