Not everybody *has* the option. I didn't, it wasn't that I wasn't willing
to pay.

No, but it is the decision of the owners, and it seems to me that they
would prefer not to have large attachments posted.
Sheesh, you'd think we were arguing over people getting shot. Go take a
chill pill.

Neither is what you believe. Your entire argument is an emotional appeal
for an arbitrary standard for which you have no logical justification.

twenty-odd years for the sole purpose of giving some snobs a way to
criticize Eric Chapuzot.

Both of you: The majority don't need wheelchair ramps, either.
In all my sporadic participation in this group over the years, I've
rarely seen complaints that an image was compressed too far to enjoy,
and never any complaint that excessively compressed images were common.
So long as that's true, what harm is there in leaning a little bit
toward the convenience of the less blessed (like me last year)?

Very simple justification - it takes little to be considerate of those
less fortunate than yourself.
But you and those like you seem to think that you're the only ones who
matter in the equation.
