There was nothing in what I wrote drawing conclusions about your or any 
other specific person's understanding of browser settings.  The ones who 
are likely to have problems with the settings are probably not editors, 
but simple passive users of the material.  I, in fact, support your view 
that users should not need to disable all pictures just to avoid seeing 
a few.  I'm afraid that you're the one jumping to erroneous conclusions 
about what I said.
