[thelist] Not declaring image dimensions

[Howard Scott]

As far as I am aware Clive, it basically means that the browser has to ³look
inside² the image and work out how to render it on the page, at the size it
wants to be, rather than just relying on the source code in the HTML, and
doing it at X x Y.

Whether this makes a difference on fast computers like those we have today I
wouldn¹t be sure.  But I think back in the old days (ooh ­ years ago!) ;)
It would have possibly been an issue.

I **think** I am right.

But don¹t roast me if I am not :)
