Just a guess, but that 18k is probably the info needed to establish
the connection to the object and get enough info about it to get the
size?  If you make the images larger do you see the same 18k or is it
proportionally larger?

(After this we draw a pentagram in the sand and sacrifice a Duke plush
toy).

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
