Hey everyone,

I'm one of the admins for the gesneriad ibiblio group (Gesneriphiles) that
Dennis was referring to.  Like Cynthia mentioned in an earlier message, we
have an image size limit of 500KB.  We had this same discussion a couple of
years ago when we increased the file size from 100KB to 500KB.  So, I see
all points to this.  Even with the increased file size, we haven't had any
complaints from those with slower internet access.

Would it be possible for you all to allow attached images for a couple of
months to see how it works?  Perhaps, try that out before switching over to
Google Groups.  (We've been thinking of moving over to Google Groups too.
The ibiblio system is definitely a little antiquated).
