Facebook controls the photos that get uploaded in such a way that it
prevents uploading viruses. It's much harder to do that on an email
list like this one. Preventing the sending of attachments eliminates a
lot of the spam and viruses that you could otherwise get. This is a
good thing, really. I know, from owning my own email list, Banjo-L.
Just saying, is all . . .

Doesn't mean we couldn't do more to make the list more functional. I keep harping about pictures as its a pain to host on a different site and post links. I prefer the list but there are times when Fb is just more fun.
