Argh! A near 5MB image downloads when that page loads, causing me
to rapidly hit the STOP button while my internet data runs down the
drain. This is why I'm going to need to write a proxy that scales
images like that down on a remote server before passing the page
on to me (very much complicated by sites like yours that only use
HTTPS connections). Why can't people scale images down anymore?

I'm not looking for new newsreaders, but I went looking at the web
site (now with image loading disabled) to find out what all this #
stuff is about. I didn't find any info on it, but guessing that its
purpose is for filtering articles by topics, why not use the
"Keywords:" header instead? Then the info (comma-separated) can be
used by newsreaders for sorting articles fetched with HEAD, before
they download the article BODY.

Or alternatively, automatically convert the # entries into
"Keywords:" entries before sending the article. Although I find it
hard to read your posts with them in the body like that.
