Sean, Thanks for writing.

Point well taken. I usually try to include 'Related Resources'
This one was knocked-off too late at night.

I keep insisting that EW is an art site -- Graphics & Gonzo. I
write these diatribes so people will see the graphics.

In this case, I squeezed as many bytes out of the new images as
possible, so they still looked good, but were more compact than
the hulking-big image files MSSS was serving up. Lean, but not
to anemic; people pore over pixels.

Even with all that, my ISP presumably can't handle the traffic.
I guess we call this success?

According to people like Matt Drudge, Dick Morris & Bill
O'Reilly, people are turning to the Internet for news. Foraging
here and there, and making up their own mind. I take it you're
on the list because Big Media won't cover these topics.

 ><sigh>

There's no money in it. Too many dogs fighting over the same
bone. If this is the first time you've heard it, you never
entertained any artistic pretensions, and are perhaps among the
happiest souls on Earth.

By the way: Keep your day job.
