Thanks all who have responded. My thoughts on this have been assured.:-) The lady in question probably does not have any of my photos lifted, as she/kids ride on the A or National shows,and i don't cover those events.
Its the incredible attitude of her's that got a few of us going. Having said that, i know a LOT of my proofs are on webshots, facebook etc. Even the riders at the farm we board at, Erin works at and Liz and I volenter at, steal them on to face book. Those i can catch fairly easily.:-) Thanks for the mete data insert idea. Never thought of that. I do my pages with BBpro so i'll look at that after this Sundays show. Dave S, your sounding more Canadian ever day. LOL Dave On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 12:04 PM, P. J.
