I agree - which is why that stuck with me. I haven't seen anything that
would indicate that this has caused a specific problem for me (yet) either,
except an issue I was dealing with last week where I had a table cell that
contained a spacer image, and it was supposed to be 1X17, but the rendering
in AOL was a table cell that was about 17X17. I was able to correct it
because I have someone that can look at it in AOL and send me screen
captures, but no matter how I tried to bloat that image up over 1k to test
that theory I couldn't do it. :\ I am not convinced that this was directly
related to that tiny image either, so I plan to keep that in mind and see
if it ever actually becomes an issue.
