Agreed. The internet is already full of bloat. The BBS is one of the
last refuges away from it. I have sixel images in 2 places. The first
is the login matrix because it`s pretty cool and the second is the NASA
Photo of the Day. I may add more but I would not want to see sixel data
floating around in netmail/echomail messages. Besides, it would be
highly incompatible with pretty much any message reader out there.
If a sysop wishes to use sixel graphics, I`m all for it. Knock yourself
out, it`s your board, but let`s not force others to have to deal with
it.
