Could we please disallow offsite images?
*Using them steals bandwidth & is rude to the people who have to pay for the other site *They're useful for vandals (goatse.cx) *Thanks to e.g. doubleclick, some people run programs that kill offsite images automatically (e.g. Proxomitron for Windows boxes) *if not killed automatically, they can cause a page not to finish loading when it would otherwise (doubleclick has a problem? well just sit there a few minutes waiting for hotmail to come up)
I'm running proxomitron now; most of the country articles have killed images; the goatse image is thankfully killed also.
