No problem. jpeg, as you know, uses lossy compression. Any time you=20

Thanks for the trivia. I'll be sure to pull it out at my next cocktail=20
party!

What's sad is that I wasn't sure if it was an elephant=97not because it=20
doesn't look like one, but being in Japan for nearly 5 years has taken=20
it's toll on my vocabulary. I wasn't sure there wasn't a more accurate=20
word for it. I was thinking mammoth or mastodon were possible=20
alternatives, but refrained from saying anything more specific than=20
"logo".  I've since checked the dictionary. I'm relieved to find out=20
that both are related to elephants, though Slonik appears to be neither.
