I often share my photos of trip to my friends. I did not have alternative text since I used Netscape 4.x. I don't have much time to enter lots of alternative text one by one. And my firends won't care if there is alternative text of each pic. I think it's not pointless, just more convenient for me or others. :-) Thank you.
