Netiquette bleg
There's a blog I really like with great content on a subject that interests me. The author, though, crams each post with irrelevant images. I suppose he means to enliven his posts. Instead, the images just distract from the content. Badly. (This isn't an Austin blogger or anyone who regularly comments on this blog.)
Can I say something?
Send him an email and suggest he provide alternate text-only version of his posts (rather than just skipping the images outright).
Plus, maybe he'll net more modem-based readers that way! =)

I've got no idea how to breach such a topic politely with a blogger whose work you enjoy. The reason you're annoyed is that you enjoy their work, so you want to tread lightly and be as constructive as possible.
Which reminds me... It's incredibly annoying that your RSS feed only lists maybe 3 lines of your posts. How about publishing the full text, or exposing a text feed, you dunderhead?

I just have to figure out how to do it . . .

We have a ruling in the RG4N/Northcross case, AC - but you probably know this and are reading the order by now :)
