Images could really be valuable - depends on the focus of the
site. I'd counsel you not to dismiss the idea, without careful
consideration of what you want to do with the site and WHO your
audience is.
While YOU might not see the need for images, your potential
audience might. This woman's feedback could be a bellwether for you.
