The point he's trying to make, which you're either missing or ignoring, 
is that things such as "proper use of JPEG" or "acceptable filesize" are 
completely subjective (especially the former). Without absolute limits 
set by the server owner or by general consensus of the community, you 
have no grounds to say that a file is correctly or incorrectly encoded, 
except in extreme cases where everyone would agree that the limits had 
been exceeded (and since I downloaded the original image without 
problems with a fairly commonplace 256kbit connection, this is not the 
case), and obviously you two don't agree on a reasonable limit, or this 
discussion would not be taking place.

As bandwidth and storage space increases, acceptable limits for files 
will necessarily increase as well, at least until we reach a point of 
diminishing returns, so historic limits may not apply either.

If there are any official rules for this server that would be 
applicable, you would do well to point Eric toward them, and I'd be 
curious to see them as well. Otherwise, I would likewise be curious what 
the majority of community presently regards as acceptable.
