As a frequent user of the internet, I would like to point out how much I have enjoyed this thread. I would however be remiss, if I failed to point out an issue, I noted very early on, as this thread has a storied beginning.

There seems to be concern in regards to copyright, and use of photos etc. On this the law is quite clear. Posting photos, not of your own, for the purpose of commentary, and including, not providing credit, all the while not usurping credit, or attempting to seek monetary gain fro said works, all fall under the law as 'Fair Use'.

This board, it's owner(s) is/are within their right to create and enforce any rules deemed fit, in regards to posting here. I feel it may be overly heavy handed due to incorrect advice, or lack of.

If the rules are being applied due to poor understanding, then I would recommended the forum undertake a fact finding mission and update itself to match the law and it's applications. The loss of some of the items posted, and those not posted, enrich us all.

As always, I am available to discuss further.

Note... the prerogative of the forum owner, is always correct... but if the rabble is told it is due to the law... then that is incorrect.

Ps. OCR, great thread as always!
