Brad,
First I wanted to say "thanks!" for your continued high-level posting. I've learned a lot, and so much more to learn. Through your posts I finally listened to Wolfram speak at MIT yesterday, read Wikipedia articles on a slew of names, and it was all quite enlightening. It's my first step into simple cellular automata and biological math. So THIS is a big part of where you're coming from.
As for the pics, I would keep the BIG size like this, and just resize it using HTML. I assume you know how to do that, since I've read some of your posts around the web. Not that I'm stalking you though haha. Just I understand there's a lot I can learn from you.
Anyway, just for your sake, I'll leave a copy/paste template you can use. Replace the "PIC" with your photo URL in two places. I think that's the best approach. If you don't make the original big size available, those who want to look closer won't be able to read it.
Ben

Fair enough. I copied the text from your two messages out to local last night, to understand. I have an exam this morning, then return around 11:00PMEST. Christmas stuff... I'll probably have a post up around 1 or 2AM EST.
Yesterday was my first day to do ANYTHING. I'm working on it Glad to hear you're still interested.
Ben

Re: Brad - About all those text graphics you seem to love to plug into your messages
would certainly write much more throughly about something if I knew people were really that interested. Sometimes by saying less I might be able to retain a larger "viewer share" since my words might detract less from what I send visually through. I dont really know.
Here's a suggestion: write less here, but provide more in-depth writing at your own website. Include a link in the post here that says, "for a more in-depth treatment of this, visit {url}."
That would allow you to address all audiences. And at your own website, you can be (hopefully painfully) detailed in your inclusion of references and allusions to cited works.
