You still have issue (b), but bandwidth for a few small images is minimal. I don't follow the log bloat issue, but assume it is (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

If it's purple**, you've already been there. --Todd * or whatever your LINK color is configured to ** or whatever your (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
