And they should also remove the Mozilla Bully and his gang

Yes, there should be pics allowed, or another group.

I understand the attitude, but do not support it, by those in charge to
posting a relevant attachment to support a question and reply in a
relevant support group. I also understand, IIRC, that it's a Giganews
restriction to posting attachments in the support groups.
IMHO, it's not much of a support venue if relevant
attachments/screenshots cannot be posted in the same thread as the
support subject. Sure, there will be some spam related abuse but that's
the job of the forum/group monitor(s) to determine and deal with that issue.
That being said, it is MHO that Mozilla should find a new hosting server
so that those seeking help can benefit 100% by those experienced in
providing support and if the occasion calls for an attachment-screenshot
then that should be posted in the reply OR by the user asking for help.
To require that the poster provide a link to some other site where the
image is hosted is in some cases nonsense and counterproductive in those
cases where a hosting site is not available to the poster.
I also understand as well as condone although I have no say-so here in
the matter, that when the support groups here do not allow a screenshot
to be posted in the related group that 1) the image is to be posted in
MTMM or 2) a special group be added where the image CAN be posted. #2 is
the best choice IMHO.

PhotoBucket or ImageShack I think are safe, yes? And the poster could
link the image to one or the other.
