I have to admit that:
1) I immediately thought on your pictures when I read the initial post.
2) I also find that (C)s particularly annoying/disturbing (basically beacause
they don't allow me to fully enjoy your images)
3) I have never found that someone else has used one of my images without
permission...Maybe if I would, my opinion would be different, so I never
complained.
