- Normally, I don't bother getting some nice pictures, but the last week
- traffic report in this group was near 2MB and that's a little bit more
- than the normal traffic.

- The normal Internet-Sites, which carry all newsgroups, won't bother, if
- somebody posts pictures to a talk-group, but there are a lot of small
- UUCP-sites, who are interested in roller-coasters, but still have a
- 2400bps modem for their newsfeed. To these sites, the traffic is very
- important.

- That might be a wrong impression, because I was the only one, who
- complained about the pictures. I think, there are a lot of people,
- who like the images (me too, but if my telephone bill gets to astronomic
- heights, I am thinking, how much I like them :-)).

- That's perfect.

- Bye for now and a happy new year to you all,

- Thorsten.
