Understandable, but I figured some people quote one image out of say ten because their comment pertains directly to that image, and with the quoted image tag it makes it way easier to understand what they're trying to convey.
No worries ^____^
I don't really mind either way if the picture or the link is up since my internet connection can handle that easily. If I was really that curious I'd probably just click the link. I can see how it could clarify things though.
