IT may be dumb, but I'm getting the information I need to do what I  
want, and none of the silly redundant and unnecessary information I  
don't.

Plus, your analogy fails to withstand scrutiny. Your assumption is  
that cream is a good thing, and more cream is inherently better.  
Extra cream vs. too little cream, in either case it's the wrong amount.

I need to do something that should take all of 30 seconds, yet I have  
to wait almost 5 minutes with a beachballing Finder. It's  
indefensible and your position is just totally untenable, Dan. I no  
longer have coffee with some cream. I have a pint of cream with an  
ounce of coffee in it. It's completely the wrong order and saying  
it's working correctly is just patently absurd.

By all means feel free to compute the amount for 900 images. I  
seriously doubt it approaches anywhere near 10MB. 99% of which did  
not need to be sent and serves no useful purpose as compared to date,  
size and label.
