No-one has yet answered my basic
question, if attachments can be sent on other sites and all the 'problems'
raised here are not problems on those sites, why not have attachments here ?

So, I'll try to answer. People accessing the other sites are making a
choice about whether and for how long they want their bit of bandwidth tied
up with downloads. This choice is a "pull" from the user's perspective.
The discussion list automatically "pushes" content to members' email boxes.
The choice is gone, and members are stuck waiting for who knows how long
before their bandwidth is freed up again.
Count me on the side opposing attachments on this list (even though I have a
pretty good cable connection). A link to a photo on another site is
sufficient; then I can choose.
