Thanks for clearing that up limbo. I had/have no plans of ever trying that method, but I am better informed as to why not. It was always self evident by the existence of the concept of thumbnails, as you pointed out, and explains why we all have that gut feeling not to do it.
I had a post some time ago on page filesize, and learned then that you lose people after 8 seconds (that's about 40kB to a 56k modem user), so now my thumbnails never reach 2kB, and that browser method should be given a wide berth...
