Here's a line taken from the First Post of that thread >>>

"I actually prefer to READ about adventures etc
than be bombarded with 100s of photos
(I have Dial up and the photos take forever to load).

That Thread really didn't get very far Off Topic!
I meant to respond to this earlier and got distracted.. I felt the original post was taken off topic because it was about how non-picture threads get so few replies as compared to picture threads. The remark about pictures and slower connections seemed made as an aside, but apparently it touched off a topic that many people had opinions about. Perhaps the word "bombarded" is what helped light the spark.

So I guess the replies were responding to something that was said, but not particularly the main point of the thread or at least what I took to be the main point.

I just hope I will not continue to see nervous/apologetic sounding picture threads, because I think for many of us here, pictures are one of our favorite parts of visiting Pet Talk.
