Bob, you've made a very good point. I don't see a purpose to uploading
these large images unless they are *final* renders of a given image.
They consume way too much server space for something that may need to be
re-rendered at least once every two weeks to remain current with
additions to the Age List.
I would consider posting a .url where we could take a look for
ourselves. An alternative would be that any person who renders updates
to their own work would 'cancel' the previous image to help conserve
server space for something original. It's all a bit redundant. This
still doesn't address the concerns of people who download everything
from this news server and then disseminate it while offline. They are in
for some unplanned, lengthy online sessions :(
