I often follow links to see images.  Now that browsers are getting faster, 
I don't mind following links to see images.  Before, I preferred having 
images attached to the messages.

I don't buy many bulbs now, and then usually only from specialists.  I 
still try to get rarities by trading.  I don't find importing and exporting 
bulbs or seeds to be a problem, as I have the permits and I can get (for 
the $50 fee) a phyto with no hassle and only a little planning.

I'm not a botanical garden, so I don't have to have wild collected plants 
and seeds.  I like to get the wild things when it's legal, but I don't 
require wild material.
