        Just dropped on over there and searched on my name. Bingo!
        Lots of PUG shots plus a few from my website. Seems to me
        that this "media search feature" is/could be construed as
        a commercially oriented thing, since I'm sure it plays high
        in Lycos self-marketing as a websearch engine. I notice they
        are fast to assign copyright to their pages while ripping off
        folks far and wide for images!!

        another example of the tackiness involved in the 
        commercialization of the internet, I suppose.

        perhaps a message to them expressing disgust at their crass
        tactics might be in order some time in the near future.
