Well, I see that the dreaded ICKYCartis has done it again.  In spite of my 
best efforts to foil its evil ways by embedding the fots in the body of my 
email, it is way too clever for this non-programmer and managed to pluck 
them out of it and send them to photo purgatory.

For those of you who cannot or for very good reasons will not click on 
links, and desire to see these very nice shots, send me an email directly to 
dwightlong at verizon.net and I will forward them by personal email to you.

This is another example of a very skillful programmer who has managed to 
provide an elegant solution to a non-existent problem, thereby making the 
system user unfriendly.  Now, I wonder if in this day and age we--or the 
world--really need systems like ICKYCartis (which also inserts strange 
characters gratuitously into the text of messages), or Yahoo (probably even 
worse except it does not clutter one's messages with extraneous characters)? 
Fred, Dennis and I and maybe others on this list belong to another 
rail-oriented discussion group which does not bother itself with list 
servers.  Emails, which MAY contain photos, graphs, and the like, are sent 
to a list of presumably interested recipients.  Replies can be forwarded by 
"reply all" and the list can be easily tailored to add or remove folks with 
perceived interest or disinterest.  It works very well.

Pittsburgh-railways at dementix  is a great group but its mechanism is unduly 
confining and frustrating.
