And your pages are always such a slow load for me on my poor pitiful dial up

Yeah - it's not always easy decision-making. I could have scanned the pages smaller and lower quality, I could have scanned fewer of them (especially in some of the later posts) to make it faster for dial-up people. But people with good connections want to see more of the guys, as I would, and to be honest I think most of my flist have decent access these days, so the need to pimp and pimp well won out!
