Dialyn, the purpose of a thumbnail everywhere else is to let viewers see what the graphic is. Why do you think it should be different here? Artists have 'squished' their graphics to make thumbnails for years. Do you think a thumbnail is a new form of art? See how well I can crop? Maybe we should start a gallery for thumbnails. And you know who hates it? Viewers. You know who loves it? submitters. For those with only a modem connection it is an insult and arrogant: Come see my graphic no matter what it looks like. I'll not even let you know if the next two minutes of your download time is worth it.
