Default Photos of Tea Blocked

FWIW -
I posted two photos/jpegs of a tea assortment... relating to a Bigelow
tea assortment.
It never made it to the NG. Anyone else experienced this?

Intended for those that consume Bigelow teas... some consumer
information from purchases made within the last fornight.

What the photos showed was what the assortment looked like, and how
there were five bags in a small sealed bag, instead of individually
sealed bags. It's a rather unique packaging. Never seen it before.
Don't like it much for one person making a cup. Might be alright for
several folks.

Oh, and the low weight bags, too... as low as 1.2 grams - showed an
example.
Other Bigelow assortments have individually sealed bags, and the average
weight is 2 grams. I have one of these, too... much better. No photos
of this, since it's more of what you would expect....

Most groups don't allow the posting of binaries, and I suspect this is
one of them.......p*

Eric, it came through fine for me. Perhaps your newsreader/service screens
them out?

If you don't mind a suggestion, if you want to share photos with folks
without having to post the actual file to the NG, you might want to try a
free service like Photobucket.com or something. That way you can upload the
photos to your account with them and provide links to the photos for the
folks you want to share with.

They made it here.

Binary attachments in non-binary groups are summarily dropped by many
news servers. It was a bad idea to attempt to post them here.

Anyone else experienced this?


Unfortunately, I didn't.

When their expenses rise, some companies raise their prices. Some
companies attempt to disguise a price increase by reducing the contents of
the packages. This may or may not apply to Bigelow; I don't know anything
about what they do or have done.

Binaries in a text-only group is a no-no.

BTW, if you want to continue to claim that Bigelow is shrinking their tea
bags, it's best that you compare specific Bigelow product(s) "then" and
"now."
