No, just time-wasting.

Oh poor you. So easily upset. Get over it, or get behind your
killfile.

I may be the only person because the rest of you can't early-adapt for
some bizarre reason. There's always been an odd atmosphere in these
groups - and this atitude over a simple file format is just another
example of something definately off-kilter. I'm sorry if I don't
present myself in some sort of pre-approved-POV-Ray-user manner, but
that's just me - get over it and listen to the arguments instead of
finding yet more execuses to not bother with them.

I don't expect everyone to start posting JPEG2000 images. All I ask
for is the permission to post in that format. I don't care if people
can't see the resulting posted image, that's their problem for them to
decide what to do about - just like I suspect a lot of people don't
bother with the animation group because the postings are huge (some of
us still on the old 56k dial-up). Nannying these people by protecting
them from the format is the wrong way to go.

I was not arguing for a format without loss of quality. Keep up. I was
arguing for a format with lossy compression that provides a better
quality image than its predecessor.
