Yes, the bloat is unavoidable, it's been creeping in everywhere else but until recently 613 was one of the places where it didn't much occur, but as photo files elsewhere grow in size they get reposted here just as they were found which is only natural. I'm a dinosaur and I know it, and don't expect evolution to wait for me, but much of the bloat seems uneccessary, as in the case of most of the silliness posted here - it's like driving a formula 1 racer when all you really need is a Corolla. I don't expect anyone to go to extra effort to keep this site easier for the likes of me but it would be appreciated.

I have my current camera set at 4320 x 3240 with a file size of 5mb which I like because it allows me to crop the pics to better show certain features, and I generally resize them to a more reasonable yet viewable size for quicker uploads.
