The world seems largely made up of devious credit grabbers and finger pointers attempting to escape rightful blame. Lack of pride of accomplishment is replaced by a slobbering orgasm gained from getting something for nothing. I accidentally come across a couple of my local images on the home page of a credit union while looking for a new location for some CD's. I wrote a letter to the CU President and immediately received a professional apology letter inviting me to simply let them know what I required to correct the situation. I told her that if I could feel fairly certain that the Web Service who constructed their site was duly admonished and "warned" of a possible law suit likely being brought by the photographer, I'd sleep fine. Her answer; "you got it"! For some reason, I believe that happened. Tom, no responsible person will ever "get it".
