posting schematics to the list has been viewed as acceptable because of
thier small file size and thier general usefullness. (Wilf's
schematics)
Most of the schematic attachments that get sent to the list are about
10k or so.. the JPG that got sent yesterday was something like 110k or
so if I remember right, and of dubious value for the majority of the
list..
Don't get me wrong though.. it's great to see what other people are
building, but there are more appropriate places to post pics..
If anyone *does* post schematics.. please make them a reasonable size..
a 2 color GIF of a schematic will usually have a really small file
size.
Now... lets get back to bots..
