Hmmmm.I hope I don't get skewered for this,but sometimes,especially if the image is a large one,I think the thumb doesn't look as good.The details are just too tiny.And especially if there is text in the image. Also,I occasionally like to do a creative thumb.I thought the thumb I used for my holiday pic looked better when it focussed on a single element in my shot,than a 'miniature' of the whole thing.I have also seen some very funny thumbs in the gallery from time to time... Okay,it's not that I disagree with the valid points you all have made here...It just doesn't bother me.Sorry.MHO. And now... the cheese stands alone,lol. :^)
