Well, I mostly try to post around 800x600, depending on the aspect ratio of
the picture (which may be clipped & otherwise played with). But occasionally
I post 2 Mpixel (2000x1500 or thereabouts) jpgs straight from my camera,
generally only for reference pics, and I don't usually post links to them
here. If someone browses to them, lucky them 8?)

I don't mind scrolling. Most of the time I'm on at least 1024x768, so it's
pretty rare anyway. My main issue is when I'm on a slow (56k modem) link -
and in this case I'll generally just abort the download if I click on a
large pic, and store the URL away to view when I'm on a fast link.
