Did some of you guys ever here the old saying: 'I told you so'? It's frustrating monitoring this situation watching some of you guys figure this out after the fact. I'll let you in on a secret: Rick Gardner has intent to commit copyright infringement and he doesn't give a damn what we think. How much proof do you need, do you want to wait for him to steal your own images next? I have to compare this situation to something similar: Ow!, I keep hitting myself in the head, but it still hurts...
