Tweets,
It's been brought to my attention that sending an attachment
broad-band--regardless of size--is against the rules of this newsgroup. I
was aware that it was generally considered bad netiquette, but I was unaware
of any "official policy" as such. As I said, I wouldn't ordinarily have
thought to do it, except that I had no ability to stick the photos up on the
web at this time.
In retrospect (and in future similar situations), I should have (and will)
send out a request for help, and will email attachments (again, reduced to
save bandwidth, of course) off line to individuals willing to receive them.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone.
And, incidentally--thank you to those who responded to me, letting me know
that the photo was a female wood duck. I appreciated your help greatly.
