I don't know about the review process, but sending attachments to a 
widely distributed email list is a big no-no, imo. You should create an 
article on the SWN Wiki (read how here: 
http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/HelpContents) and then upload 
your pictures using http://www.seattlewireless.net/?UploadFile and then 
send us the link. I am sure there are a lot of people that are 
interested in seeing your antenna, but equally, there are a lot of 
people that don't or are sipping their bandwidth through a mighty thin 
straw.
