Images in posts (Re^11: How to find out if an argument is an LVALUE ?)

You could of course just provide a link to an image - that's very low bandwidth and anyone who wants to view the image in all its glory can very easily do so.

I find this subthread out of proportion and even a bit petty...
• the emojis display very differently on different plattforms
• he's within the 20 year old quotas
• he doesn't do it very often
• downloading this subthread from his first picture post results in 380k of volume. pair.com's promotion alone needs 272k, pair's banner gif needs 66k

Disclaimer: I haven't checked to which degree his node is compressed during transmission and I assume the promoting stuff is cached.

But still
