I just don't want people snooping around my web site, thats all! If you
know what I mean. I want people to see it as intended...(1)
Really, now, I tried to make the images as large as possible, while
still loading in a reasonable time for eBay people, because I figured a lot
of people would just like to look at them. I didn't think to make a
separate place on my site, because frankly, I have been a little busy with
auctions! And truthfully, I am not trying to solicit bids in this
particular group; eBay gets plenty of bids from itself and posts on other
groups.
1 - inside (Lugnet) joke - the whole "experience" - actually, if you really
detest eBay, can't stand being there for a second, then you can visit
www114.pair.com/ig88/ebay1/ and click on the numbers (4806, 6026, 6032,
6094, 605, 6096, 6098 (which is 6091, too) for the new Castle set pics (just
don't look at anything else - that would be impolite!)

| (...) Hmm, now that you mention it, I clicked around some more, and you actually did host the images on your own site. You could have pointed people to those images instead of announcing your auction in the .castle group and pointing them to a page (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
