different tools for different situations.

Attaching an image means that it will be with the cellar for as long as the cellar is here. Pointing to an image hosted elsewhere carries no such connection.

Attaching an image means that the file resides where the cellar resides, and is a (small) storage burden on the cellar, while an external link is far far smaller.

Likewise for the bandwidth to bring the image to your screen. Attached images, cellar pays the freight. Linked images -- external host pays the freight.

Best... such a difficult concept.

Best is a state of mind.

Also FWIW, if you attach an image, there's no taking it back once the time limit for editing your post has expired. If you keep the picture on a host you control (and link to it), you can always delete it later.
