Did we used to communicate? Cool. Well, I welcome your renewed
correspondence should you ever wish it. Or we could talk here, if you
like.
I understand about bandwidth limits. Are you able to download my
pictures? I sympathize with you, but I know how much work is involved
in posting. It takes time. Re-sizing photos is a pain too. And not
everyone has the software to do that. It is a conundrum.
One possibility: I have noticed that the finest photos from any poster
often earns some feedback, thank yous or comments. Hone in on those
first. As you seem to dislike BD's subject matter, perhaps you should
only DL those photos of his that have earned praise.
Stay Safe,
Doc
