Henry,
Thank you for the response! I do agree that intentions are not always clear on the internet. My intentions were to have the other members of this list be more considerate of those without the newest and fastest servers available. I thought I had detected a condescending note in some of the post about those with limited access to the Kolb List and their ability to deal with large format pictures. Ergo my post!
I live in a beautiful place called Lancaster County, PA where we have many Amish ( Plain people) amongst us. We "English" have to tolerate their driving their horse and buggy vehicles on our roads and there are many that complain loudly about the inconvenience it causes them. To the Amish, even a bicycle is a fast moving object much lest our cars. The benefit of having them among us far out weighs the inconvenience they cause on the roadways! Those of us who live with them have learn to be tolerant of their choice of life style and give them due respect on the roads which sometimes causes delay and safety hazards.
I cannot access high speed even if I wanted to. The nearest cable line is 1-1/2 miles away and "they" won't consider running the line my way. Not enough houses, so they say. I also live on the North side of a hill in the woods which precludes satellite reception. All I was asking for is some reasonable consideration from the others on the Kolb List. John W. posting of JPG.s of the Monument Valley group is not a problem and much appreciated which I tried to relayed to him. Others could limit the size of their postings pixtel wise. When I joined the Kolb List many years ago it was a more friendly place than lately. Seems ever year there is a new comer with an attitude, one of which you alluded to in your last post. Hopefully there is room on the list for those of us that don't have the latest high speed capabilities that many enjoy. Hope you allow room on the road for us also!! I do know how to limit the size of incoming mail, I just didn't want to be relegated to the back of the bus on this list. Courtesy goes a long way in all endeavors!!!
Lastly, I do agree with your analysis of the FireFly being one of Homer's and Dennis Souder's best creations. Hope to have to opportunity to meet you one day. Any chance of your coming to the Father's Day fly-in at Homer's this year?

Terry,
Ya, I'd like to go to Homers, MV, Sun n Fun, and all the rest, but there is a huge amount of blue water between here and the Madland. Just to get to Califrisco is 2500 miles (did you know that SF is closer to Hawaii than LA?), at 65 MPH, bucking a 25 MPH headwind, at 2.75 gallons per hour... Just thinking about all that mid-air re-fueling is enough to make my E6B spin off it's little wheel...
So thanks for the invite... Glad there's no hard feelings...
BTW I kind of like JetPilot... Sure he's rude and crude and opinionated but he has a pretty good grip on the subject. As often as not I end up agreeing with his point, although not his method. Also, the one time he tried to take a bite outta me, it was with great pleasure, I bit him right back.
To keep this Kolb related... I'm still waiting for John or Jim or someone to give it up about the electric twin from TNK... Come on guys, we're waiting...
Good Luck and Aloha...

Terry/Dial up users
I really don't want to get anyone worked up. There have been a number of people that have suggested what seems like reasonable well meaning ways of dealing with the large photos. No one has responded to these suggestions. Most of us have high speed connections and we find it very useful to use the list to send photos. Again I don't mean to offend but should the majority of us change the way we do things for a few that (appear to) refuse to adapt their web usage to match their connection speed? Please help us understand. Are the suggestions not acceptable? Do you not understand how to make the changes?
