Now that I know your grabber is on GoDaddy I'll see if I can figure out 
why it is often very slow for me.  Occasionally it even fails to load.

For many years I had a free wireless 10 Mbps upload connection for my 
toy server but now my I'm on DSL with 13 Mbps down but limited to 680 
Kbps up.  I have considered using GoDaddy but with all the traffic I 
have going to my server my limited upload speed would sure be a bottleneck.

Wouldn't surprise me either but it would concern me.

Yes it is much easier to view a quick small snap in a message than going 
to a link.  It just take me more time to edit and post a snap than to 
provide a link.  Maybe I need to find another procedure for copying and 
editing snaps.
