   If someone wanted, on the odd occasion, to post a picture to help   
   explain the situation that they are in, that can be done by posting a   
   picture to various websites and then they would just post a link to   
   their picture here. No problem.   
      
   But might you be suggesting that Maria is trying to include a picture   
   with each and every post she makes to E-S??
