I would think a good place to look at it, is where it is used....on web/facebook/twitter or right click on it and download it. My problem is that I dont see us using it for more than web/facebook/twitter for quite sometime, but of course I might be wrong. But I am not sure what the suggested line of action is ? do we stop using it on the web etc for now, does someone start a new discussion or ? rgds jan i. ps. orcmid@ you wrote earlier that I dont need to copy you, the mail from you has dev@ and orcmid@ so a simply reply all would cause that effect.
