And here we are trying our darnedest to cut down on the bandwidth problems, and you're suggesting that we load a bunch of photo's to push Canon's 1DIII? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. YMMV
Any time when an image is posted in a PHOTOGRAPHY forum, it is not a waste of bandwidth.
If you want to see what is an absolute waste of bandwidth, here is a typical example of 827 posts and 63245 views of serving no purpose what-so-ever and I am glad that someone has some sense to take it off the 'sticky':

Bandwidth isn't an issue if you host the images yourself, it's just a link and the destination host is responsible for the bandwidth liabilty. I run a dedicated server on an OC192 connection. Often my images load before the rest of the page here. My guess is that this holds true for a number of the people posting images.
I'm very, very happy with the combination of great high ISO performance and the extra MP. Makes a big difference in even small prints - much more detail than I was able to capture with the Mark II, even when using Lightroom.
From yesterday...sure, you get sharp pics, but mine has AF servo issues...but what is right is very nice indeed. This is not a great composition, but the detail is super.

Before this thread is buried, here are few new images with my 500f4 + Canon Tc. It is hard to believe that I have shot over 10K with this amazing camera, and I am still have to hit Bosque yet :
My AF is spot on with my 500f4, with or without TC, after I adjust the AF Micro Adjustment on the combinations. I have already paid for the feature and might as well use it. YMMV.
