Thanks for your attempt at an explanation, but it doesn’t really address the issue. People can set their browsers not to load graphics. It’s very simple to do and allows more information to flow for those who can handle it. It’s the best of both worlds on one thread.

I really do appreciate the work you do on these threads. I think it’s excellent. I just don’t understand why all of us have to use 1990 technology when there’s a simple resolution to the problem that only takes minutes to accomplish.

Photos, storm tracking and other informaiton simply isn’t conveyed without graphics. Aerial shots of the storm, or even storm tracking is a valuable addition to these threads, don’t you think?

Well, thanks again. I appreciate your response.

I have DSL but last year I lost it and had to go to dial up during a tropical storm. A real pain.

Frankly, when I see someone from California complaining about the hurricane threads and dismissing my "attempt at an explanation," I don't get too concerned about your disappointment.

Apparently you also dismissed my point about why I manage these threads. I know of nothing preventing you from posting other threads with loads of high pixel animated graphics you desire, and posting links to it on these threads.
