Ah yes, but see this is why I was speaking up about it.  Images with questions
associated with them might be useful in the long run as well and not just
discardable space-wasters.  I mean, what's a question and answer without the
image(s) that show it.
I don't want to disrupt the idea but I also don't want to see things gets lost.
That's my opinion on it anyway.
