In general, I agree--I don't advocate deleting anything else. However, the 
images I'm talking about are nearly identical, very simple, symmetrical 
patterns. They were obviously created by a program. (The code, as I said, may 
be of interest.) Please take a look at the folder if you haven't seen them 
before.

You have to download 5MB of these patterns. On a slow connection, that's not 
trivial.
