It's easy enough to right click and select "view image", but sometimes edge detail gets a bit jagged. I'll make exceptions for panoramic photos, but if someone wants to post very large image files, there should be an intermediate file for browser viewing. e.g - picasaweb automatically sizes the photo for your available real estate, and offers an option to view the original file. There are other applications that do something similar. If viewing web pages and images forces me to conform to someone's idiotic ideas about web design, I'll just surf somewhere else.
