pepper disease or bugs?

Hello all. New to forum, although I joined a while back. My computer was malfunctioning, so this is my first post. This site is a wealth of information and I'm glad I can now participate. Anyhow, I grew your usual bell pepper plants from seed, and when ready, I put them in the ground. They grew nicely and then developed some sort of disease or inset damage, I don't know. I'm leaning toward disease because once one leaf gets a tiny spot on it; it's over for that plant and any plant nearby. Four peppers were affected in short order. Seeing that whatever the problem was was communicable, I pulled them out and trashed them. The peppers from the same seed pack in pots are fine. Here are pictures of the leaves. Thanks for your help.

photobucket makes it super easy. Just mouse over (put your cursor on) one of your photos. A dialog box will pop up with a variety of codes. Click on the IMG one, which copies it, and paste it here. You don't have to use our Img button or do anything else, photobucket provides all the coding.

Thanks, I read all of the directions. But I think I used HTML instead. I guess I didn't read them well. When I previewed the post, my pictures showed up, so I thought I had done it correctly. Live and learn.
I'm going to post another piture to see if I got it right.
