you never said anything about wanting to see them on his blog.
you just said:
"""Can we kill the images from being displayed in the planet feeds? I
like having this new guy's blog and all, but having 10 images per post
is really killing the loading speed of the planet site. It also messes
up a lot of the formatting, especially on a smaller screen."""

Seriously. If you want to view the images on his blog, then why not
view them on the planet site?

I know I don't want to implement a sweeping change to the planet, and
it appears Jason agrees with me.
