I post pictures of my grandchild in imageshack.us.  And I direct those
who want to know (family & friends) to that site.  I do not send the
pictures directly to them, just a link to the page.  AOL has been
blocking my e-mail to family that have the link in the e-mail.  These
are not spam!  They keep my usage of the internet down and keep me from
sending large e-mails to my family that have 56KB dial-ups.  Yes, not
everyone has fiber optics.  I think I have finally gotten AOL to
white-list - at least my e-mail is getting through since last night.
