It's an absurd "rule", as it favors one technique (outright banning of specific types of images) and ignores a bunch of realities, including: * The problem with magnifying text images also applies to magnifying any other images that contain content; you may not be able to adequately increase the size of an image of ANY kind. If the answer is to "ban it!" then the answer is clearly to ban all images on the web entirely -- because there will likely be some audience for whom they are too small. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
