I'm by no means an expert here but I think it's because pics tend to be big in MB size (KB even) and to handle and store all the data of all the pictures dropped by members is simply impossible. That would require a huge, huge memory. So.... WP (and others) use linking (little data storage there) to make it possible for folks to show their photographs and also YouTube videos of course (requires even more memory, duh)

Because the webmaster obviously doesn't want to waste storage space with peoples attachments.

Taken just a minute ago under a fluorescent light, which apparently gives a person an unearthly glow; kinda cool looking...

I agree with -gasm about beejay's eyes. Aspie's I think have beautiful eyes. I've said it before and I've just said it in the last sentence. It's back there if you missed it <<<<

Thumbs up to eyes!!

These are my eyes

This is me acting like a dork in front of a giant poster of the Taj Mahal wearing the most ironic shirt possible for that moment.

(By the way, why are there so many "Post your pic" threads? )
