The only limitation with this method is if in some future time someone else
wishes to see the referenced image the file could well have been removed
from a web site while it will still be available here on the server. I often
reference back to past messages dating as far back as the beginning of
this server. If refereneced material was unavailable the content of some
messages would be worthless. I will also agree though there are case where
is is appropriate top provide a link to some temporary data of no importance
but in this case it is an important part of the data in the message and
should not be time limited.
