Rick: Do you object to the principle of providing a mechanism that permits users to prevent the display of some images?
No, not at all. So long as it is not imposed on everybody else.
Note that I am asking if the very idea is a problem so that we know whether it is the concept or the details of the mechanism that exercises you.

I don't want to be forced to go to a link every time I want to see an image. If there were some way to do it in the Preferences, then I have no problem at all.

No thank you. I don't want to be forced to view a bowderized Wikipedia just to take out a very small number of images that shouldn't be inline in the first place, and I don't want the harm that this causes to our *readership* (who wouldn't have such a setting) either.

So you want it bowdlerized but not bowdlerized? How does that work?
