I believe the question was, where is a good place to put pictures.
I think the system at www.imagestation.com is about the best right now.  You 
can put picture into individual albums, look at them as a thumbprint index, or 
individually bigger, or even as a slide show.  You can also leave comments on 
any picture you care to.  You can leave the album open for public view, or 
password protect it so only invited guest can see your work.  People can, 
however, order copies from there if they decided to.  But I think they could 
have done that from our old e-circle too.

As for all that "ranting" down below.....Bob4.....YOU sent me to
Yahoo, told 
me to get my PhotoGallery mail through them and NOW you squawk about the 
spam?  Are you trying to get me buried in spam when you know how well 
protected I am from it at my ISP address???    Well, I've been there at 
least a month now and have received absolutely NO spam at the Yahoo address 
yet.  But then, that's not an address I fill in for newsletters and contests, 
so maybe nobody will find me there anyway.  If they do, I'll just delete it 
and go back to my Primary mail address where the Mail Washer takes care of 
what few spam messages wander in.  I'm happy with the Yahoo address you talked 
me into :)

->  Hi there guys.
-> 
->  What I've found out about Yahoo and junk mail.
-> 
->  I have a yahoo id, give it to everyone. qsabe{at}yahoo.com and
->  if it shows up in some spammers mailbox, I don't care.  Yahoo
->  does a good job of separating my real mail from the junk.
->  When I go to read my Yahoo mail on-line I have from fifty to
->  a couple hundred spam's, junks mails, all sorted out and in
->  the junk mail folder.  The few I get that aren't sorted out
->  as junk mail are usually just junk mail too, so I click the
->  spam button and Yahoo adds those names to it's junk mail filters.
-> 
->  The thing is, that's mail that comes in to my Yahoo mailbox.
->  I don't use that mailbox for anything but those web sites
->  that demand you give them an e-mail address before you can
->  join the group.  Those sites that say, OK we will e-mail you
->  your password.  They go to Yahoo mail, I pick it up and carry
->  on.
-> 
->  However Yahoo is so good at sorting the junk mail into their
->  their junk mail mailbox, that I also give that address to
->  companies who I might want to contact years from now.  The ISP
->  I'm using just might anger me, which makes them history and I
->  start with a new address from someone else.  I've had the Yahoo
->  address ever since getting on the web.  I've been through a
->  half dozen ISP's in that time, but Yahoo is always there.
-> 
->  I sent my video camera off to have some work done on the Mack
->  extended warrantee, and Mack got the Yahoo address, I like it
->  that much.  By the way, I will say something about Mack, I
->  couldn't be happier with the service I received.  I'm glad
->  I bought the warrantee with the new camera.
-> 
->  Back to Yahoo.  If you log in to Yahoo groups, you can read
->  messages online, where it is ugly, or have the messages sent
->  to another e-mail address.  If you use the Yahoo address,
->  they will be intermingled with the spam and your other mail.
->  Or you can have the messages sent as individual e-mails, one
->  for each message to your ISP mailbox.  I was leery at first
->  about getting spammed that way,  but so far, I've received
->  none.  As for getting a bunch of stuff mixed in with your
->  regular mail, the way to handle that is to create a separate
->  folder just for that mail. One of mine is called Photogallery.
-> 
->  Then create a filter to filter all your incoming mail looking
->  for [Photogallery in the message subject line.  Set your
->  filter up to move all messages that trigger from the inbox
->  to the new folder, thus keeping everything separate.  You
->  don't have to build that filter on your home mailbox, you
->  could build it on the Yahoo or other online mailbox too, but
->  It's easier for me on my ISP.
-> 
->  Just go to the Yahoo groups and join a group.  Then set
->  up your group mail options to send mail to your address.
-> 
->  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PhotoGallery/ is where you
->  would join the group.   Knock on wood, I'm getting no spam
->  from the address given to Yahoo Groups.
-> 
->  There are currently 190 folks in the PhotoGallery group
->  1505 in the coolpix group so there is a lot of activity
->  and most of the old gang is there.  Nothing can replace
->  the intimacy of a small group like on Fido, but if you
->  want to put a picture up and have a discussion about it,
->  that's a nice place.
-> 
->  And Fonix sill has space available for folks from the
->  Photo Echo.   Good luck guys.
