Yikes!  Too bad your post resulted in this exchange.

We're not always like this here - hopefully you will continue to be
interested in sending your posts, images, anecdotes, two-cents worth, etc.
in the future.  The attaching of binaries isn't supported by the by-laws, so
the protocol is to get them on a web site - or available on request (less
desirable).  Lots of people share their images - and they are always well
received.

I'll look forward to your future participation.
