Ahh. Now we're getting somewhere. The real reason.

No, you can't use just 'pic.jpg' on the craiglist server, as it would
look for pic.jpg in its own root directory. You need the fully-qualified
URL for your own server.
You can same some bytes by putting them in your *own* root directory.
http://novice.home.att.net/pic.jpg
but that is going to be your least amount of bytes. Assuming 'novice'
is not your real email id, make sure you choose a short word.
