Maybe I'm being a complete dumbhead and perhaps I'm missing something painfully obvious, but I'm having trouble posting an image directly into a post. How does one do this? (Yes, 80-some posts and only now I'm trying to figure this out!)

Nope.  It has to be uploaded to the web for you to be able to download it to a thread.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Just a heads up that many images become "something else" at TinyPic after a year or so; eventually, the filename may be re-used for another uploader, if you don't register.
