I've had a few situations where I would like the opportunity to attach an
image to messages to other members. Usually to confirm that the condition of
a used part is acceptable to my customer and/or is the color they are looking
for, and occasionally to send a photo of my cat.

Would anyone else find value in this functionality?

Thanks,
OOO_Shiny

You had me until you said, "cats." After that, this post lost all value.

Cats are evil seeds of demons.

Of course they are! That’s why we worship them.

(The other theory is that they are E.T.’s stranded on Earth and either are undercover
or chose to become “pets”¹ to survive.

See! That picture is a proof! That poor guy is clearly under the sway of the
evil cat (which is clearly trying to entrance the photographer)!

As for the “cats are aliens” theory, read Anthony Boucher’s¹ short essay², Conquest,
everything is explained therein.

¹ Despite his French-looking lastname, he was American, a guarantee of mental
health.
² It’s disguised as a science-fiction short story but it’s clearly the truth.

Dogs are devils. There are many avatars of cats here. I noticed that your avatar
is not of a dog.

Is that the kind of dog that brings you booze? I actually had one of those for
awhile. It cost more than a child to feed and pooped twice his body weight daily.
I was a poor E4 in the Army and had to give him back. They are great dogs.

I should not sound so anti-dog. I grew up with dogs and actually have rescued
two while rescuing over 40 cats. I hate to see any animal suffering or without
someone to love them. I just prefer cats.

There should be a way to do it within BrickLink, without having to give
out your actual email address.

There are a lot of way around it but I agree, it would be nice to just have a
simple way of sending a pic right thru BL but not of cats, just dogs ONLY.

Members who opt in to get their messages (also) as e-mail would know your e-mail
address anyway.
