A request re: quoting posts with screen caps

[USincognito]

It's really more of a pet peeve of mine, but when you quote a post with a image or a screen cap can you cut the tags for the image or the link from your response? Nothing is more annoying to me than to have a page that seems huge load only to find it's full of quotes including an image with things like
"wow thats neat"
and
"Cool!"
below it.

Am I the only one who feels this way? If so, I'll shut up about it.

Are you on slow or limited bandwidth?

When I'm surfing on the computer, it makes no difference to me. But I feel the same way that you do when I'm surfing CF through my cell phone.

You can do that?!?

I don't dind in annoying when there is a reference to a picture ie: "are these the same ppl type" Or "caught in a net" type stuff.

But like Red, I'm on DLS at (shhhh) work so my pictures come right up. Granted some are regular size and some are soooooo big they fall off the end of the computer monitor but all in all it doesn't really bother me.

I feel it shouldn't make a difference since it's good 'Netiquette not to cut and paste (basically) a 1000x1000 pixel photo from a post immediately or one or two posts above yours. Snipping it, especially if you're going to make a relatively innocuous response seems like an obvious courtesy to me. It's the same thing with 20,000 charater text posts where the response is:
"i agree"

I find that sort of thing maddening regardless of what my bandwidth situation is... that said.

At work I am on a T-1 and my machine is a 3.4 Gig PIV with Windows XP. At home however, I am on dial-up with a 933 Meg PIII and Windows Me. I'm sure this has some effect on my feelings about quoting massively large images or textual posts, but I still think general 'Netiquette says snip any superfluous content of anything you're responding to.

Maybe that's just my pet peeve.
