It should, actually, be automatic based on the user's settings. Sort of like site detection between mobile and non-mobile devices.

I could understand complaining about bandwidth on images in 2003 ... but that boat has sailed, sir. You need to download a plugin that automatically stops images from loading in your browser or something and save everyone else the grief.

For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5613/
Here's instructions for IE, just in case you still have bad judgement: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080804135121AAeMye7
There's even a solution if you happen to be running Chrome: http://vvsite.com.ua/?fl=0&i=24#engl

In other words: get over it.
