Um, Clair ol' buddy....I said "keep it up" long before all of your
flood of huge photos arrived. Why not post large numbers of photos no
larger than, say, 800x600 MAX, compressed 50-60%, plus an index. Then
offer larger versions by request only? That way, the group may even
look at your photos.

i sized them down to 4x6@250 dpi I guess 100 or perhaps 75 dpi would
have worked better

dpi is not the size of the picture, dpi is used to inform the printer how
many dots he must print on a inch of paper.
dpi is also used when you scan a picture, a picture 10 inch wide scanned
with 250dpi would be 2500 pixels wide.
How big a picture would be on the screen of a monitor depends on the
resolution setting of the monitor.
Monitors have standard resolutions like 640x480 - 800x600 - 1024x768 -
1152x864 - 1280x720 - 1280x800 1280x1024
Flat screens use mostly 1280x1024 for best results, wide screens use
1280x720 or 1280x800 depending on the optimal resolution for the monitor.
I prefer a picture posted 1200 pixels wide, as my monitor resolutions are
1280x1024
Many people have now screens with a resolution 1280 wide.
The picture included in this e-mail is 1200x897 pixels.
