If you want them, >get them from a local BBS. If you want to show yours off, post it to a >BBS. I see the .GIF pictures as an incredible waste of net resources. Nope! Thats not it!!! designate various sites as GIF archive servers, then people can ftp them at their leisure. How about some on the east coast, some in middle america and some on the west coast (fault tolerance). If you have something to share allow people to anonymous ftp it!!!
