Photographers take pictures to have pictures, not to have data files to look at on computer monitors. The computer is a means to an end, and the size of the screen has absolutely nothing in common with the finished product. A number of years ago, the enlarger was the industry tool for making pictures. What the above poster is alluding to would be akin to saying that if you were serious about photography, you would need to have an 8x10 enlarger in the basement to print your 6x7 negatives. If a person wants pictures for his own viewing pleasure, then optimize them for that purpose and leave them oon your hard drive. If you want to post pictures for the enjoyment of others, then stop being an idiot and follow the accepted standards regarding pixel dimensions.
