Funny how they crap out some of the images but not all of them all the time...
I donno what the deal is 
I've even gone to the part of over-sharpening after downsizing and still sometimes images have an overall softness to them when posted from photobucket and you're right its not consistent. As long as what goes to the client looks good. Images put into photobucket and images resized and put on the net is usually not a good gauge for IQ.
