Mike,

After thinking about it awhile, I just have to weigh in here. I don't see how posting images has got anything to do with spam email. If you never give out your email address (so that people on this board do not have it in their address book), and never post your email address on this board, you will not get spam email purely by posting an image on this board. I've tested it. I have another domain other than Metakrome.com to which I have posted photos in the past. It has no email address associated with it other than the registrants address at Network Solutions. And that address is at Metakrome. I don't get spam from this process. How could I, there is no address to which to send it. You can go further. Ditch your email account completely. You can still have a website, or space on a server where you can place images to be posted on this board. And you can still communicate with this great group with zero risk of getting spam. Personally that would not be my choice. I enjoy the great benefits I get from using email even though I get a few spam messages each day. It only takes me about 5 seconds to blow them off into the ether.

I guess I'm making this response for selfish reasons. I would hate to see anyone discouraged from posting images. There are so many cases where a photo tells the story much better than a verbal description.
