Being a photographer & videographer I have always missed the fact
We are unable to attach images to Our EMs but do understand the reasons
for that,,, But these days with all of the places that images can be uploaded
to & shared via links on the www it seems almost silly that We haven’t done
something to make our Vanagon Related images available to Us all ~
I really do like the Ease Of Use of this EM List & would not like to see it
altered in any way & do believe that establishing a venue for images that are
pertinent to Our discussions would only add Frosting to this Yummy Cake ~
Certainly there are other www based places where dialog & images are
easily shared simultaneously but they can & do become confusing messes for
some reason,,, I avoid TheSamba because to Me it is the proverbial HayStack
& as for FaceBook, there is a fine example of a HayStack in a Tornado ~

Rebellious Punctuation ~
