To me, photos & scans are to be viewed, examined,
enjoyed, savored ... flooding is counter to all of that ...

I don't killfile but I will delete all your headers w/out

Gee, that wasn't so hard now, was it?

Sj, this may not have occured to you, but there are other reasons to
collect stuff like this that don't relate to "buy them, trade them,
get them ALL!" For example, if you are a modeler, any high-resolution
photo of a potential subject is always useful, even if you don't get
around to modeling that subject for a while.

Enjoy the herbal tea, your patchouli, and I'll send someone over to
wipe your fevered brow, while the rest of us grab the photos.

P.S. I don't even want to know how you "savor" a photograph, and I'm
not about to ask! Heh.
