    Right, that's what I originally thought about. It did get pretty wide in
the course of discussion though.

    Basically I would not suggest that -any- image that is worth permanent

number of worthwhile images erased from p.b.i. when we run out of space, we
have to think about sorting the wheat from the chaff somehow.
