For those I work with

It was brought to my attention recently by a subscriber with whom I work that she was having difficulty with Lotus Notes when opening my posts (it seemed to crash her e-mail). I haven't included photos recently, which seemed to have solved that problem.

If you've experienced similar trouble please e-mail me; it will determine whether I continue to include photos with my daily quotations. I'd still prefer to do it this way as I think it makes my blog more visually interesting.

Regards,
Barry
