Subject: Re: Saab Pictures anybody


Andrew. Thanks for the explanation. Will not re-post pictures. I thought it was alright to do as I had seen car pictures on this newsgroup b4. Was unaware of the binaries thing. Sorry everybody! Cheers Brett (To be honest though I would have thought if it was such a bad thing to do, technology would have prevented it from being posted at all?!) Good job I made the jpg as small as I could. Could you imagine how upset Dave Hinz would have been then?? :)) "Andrew Stephenson" <amesnopsamrak.demon.co.uk> wrote in message news:1030839599snznopsamrak.demon.co.uk... > In article <3v9c9.317771$m91.13005870nopsam.nnrp.aus1.giganews.com> > bcsalnopsamrose.com "Brett" writes: > > > You cannot post pictures on regular newsgroups.
