Now this is yet another breeder thing that frosts my pumpkin! If I ruled the world, I would pass a law that says that NO ONE is allowed to send e-mail attachments to ANYONE unless they learn the basics of photo-editing software. That would cut down the amount of brat pictures by about 99%, as most breeders don't know how to reduce the file size of the photos once they scan or download from a digital camera. That's why so many of these loaf pictures are so gigantic that you have to scroll sideways to see the whole thing (not that you would WANT to!).
Even with a smaller file size, there is still no need for a bazillion pics. I mean, does the loaf look any different than it did when moo or duhd took the previous picture five minutes ago? I think not.
This is just so rude, especially when the recipient of the pictures is on dial-up. I have high-speed DSL, but even that chokes up when someone sends too many attachments with huge file sizes. Luckily, I can also check my e-mail on the web and delete the offending attachments that way.
Why can't these dumbass breeders set up a FREE Flickr, Picturetrail or Photobucket site, put the loaf pictures in that, and just send the link to it?
Oh...I know! Because some people might choose not to click, and then there's no captive audience for sprog-worship!
