That, and rather busy.  There is always the chance that someone 
would think it's a rather nifty idea and do it, and almost no
chance that they would if I didn't make the suggestion.

I would be a lot more likely to follow up and comment, since 
following up a PESO link is rather inconvenient, particularly 
since I don't read my email on the web.  But, even when I do,
following peso links means opening up multiple web windows.

I mostly just thought that it would be cool to have a gallery
of the PESOs.  Which I suppose is a bit more work than just
a page of links, because you'd have to follow the link and find
the url of the actual image.

Yeah, I could write a procmail recipe to pull them out into
a separate folder.
