You know what, you're absolutely right.  Screw the little guy, it's not
your problem or mine.  When I get around to it, I'll post my images on the
server, and because they're *so* stunning, I'll post uncompressed
TGAs at 1400x1050, because that's what I rendered with.

Seriously, though, I started with the point that it was the owner or
moderator of the server who requested it, and wandered from that.  Thanks
for pointing that out.

Then perhaps someone should *ask* if those guidelines still apply.
