Space on the server may be cheap (and even then not necessarily) but people's bandwidth and loading speed is not always equal... if everyone had a 200Kb avatar, people on dialup would spend 30 minutes loading every page...

Slight exaggeration there ( )*, but right. I used to have dial-up, it was slow to load pages with fifteen 5kb avatars, it would have been torture if half of them were over 10kb too...

*edit: actually, maybe not, you said if everyone had a 200kb avatar... if that were the case, i'd actually hope they were animated otherwise there wouldn't be any room for the posts!

Yup, exaggeration is right up at the top of my "things I'm good at" list.

Hmm, if it's at the top of the list, then you are exaggerating your exaggeration ability, then it would actually be at the bottom of the list. But if it was at the bottom of the list, then you wouldn't be very good at exaggerating, therefore you would only claim it was just off the bottom of the list...

This is a grave conundrum.

This may take some time.

The cap goes on your head.

Werll, that all depends where Rinso does his thinking, doesn't it !

*Places cap on empty jar*

I'm sure that 200kB Avatars is a gross exageration, but then you did say you were good at it...

I take the point about dial-ups having to load 10 or more in a page, fair enough. It's easy to forget what it was like using dial-up. Thank Technology that I don't have to do that again!

I had also forgotten that my own board limits Avatars to 12 kB.

Now, if we apply "reductio ad absurdum" and/or Xeno's paradox to this, we find that since Kitcal's abilitiy to exaggerate becomes provably untrue, then any statement Kitcal may make, however apparently exaggerated, must be considered true ..... Hmmmm?

Yup it stinks!It stinks because we are uo to the neck in shit over the question who is exaggerating and who is just making his point

Don't over-exaggerate. You're no deeper than your knees...
