Yeah, but that's placing the onus on the reader to add an attribute
to your picture, and is one of the reasons why so many pictures
appear without author names...causing people to jump up and down.

I don't really think that inexperienced readers would realise that
your omission of any comment about who made the picture in your message
would signify clearly that the picture was yours...but an attached name
does so immediately.

Also I think someone recently actually commented that a From: line in a
message was no guarantee that a picture was made by that poster.

I don't read homepages unless I really have to...costs me
money...and I'm a cheapskate. :-)

Hmm...you did attach VK to those Viking portraits I posted though! *8-)

You know better and you are becoming too frequent for comfort, my friend.
Please refrain from reposting 'stein characters.

Hmm...it appears not...according to JRO.  

Wasn't JRO none other than your old fellow-cartoonist and favourite,

>(Feet by VK, sandals by ejm)

I wasn't very sure about that because there were those FJ letters
which suggested that Henry Segerman had had a finger in the pie.

Anyway your V. sneaked in next to the big toe!  :-)


Oh, but while we are on the subject...on most of the pictures you 
have done up to now you seem not to have bothered attaching your 
name or intitals. I've added them to one or two of your old pics but 
eventually reached the conclusion that you were just not bothered 
about attributes on your own pics.  

I always find it a tedious task to add missing attributes but I 
usually try to add them anyway with an accompanying <groan & 
grimace> which are mercifully not visible to the viewers. 8-)

Those were the feet from that big nude self portrait of mine that you
posted the other day.

My name appears in the "From" field of my posts and I try to make it
clear if I post a picture I did NOT make. That should be enough info for
those who feel like copying the pictures to add credits - just like they
would on any other quote from a newsgroup post...

On my homepage it says right at the top something like "I, Veronica
Karlsson, made these pictures..." (except where it is obvious from the
context that I did not - e.g. in quotes from my discussions with
llizard). Also enough info for anybody who would like to copy any of
them that they can add credits - just like they would on any other quote
from a web page...

I am not going to try to force people to view pictures with my initials
stuck to them (I do have some understanding for the "they look ugly"
argument), but if I see a picture of mine "published" somewhere
(newsgroup, web page, email, etc) without credits I will tell the person
who copied the picture where it came from.

That's your problem.  :)

I'm not here for your comfort Pete, I'm here to enjoy myself.

I ain't your friend Pete, whatever gave you that impression?

Then please refrain from posting your Stein characters in the first 
place so that they will not be in danger of being reposted. HTMLise 
them and keep them on your Website.  

Go fry your head Pete!

Ahh yes I bet this was the product of some wild PC > JRO arguement. Pete,
when I used to be in frequent email contact with JRO, he kept going on about
you... perhaps he likes you <g>)

Martin, thanks for speaking up in favor of me, but you may get hurt. This is
Usenet at its very worst, the law of the jungle.

On "some wild PC > JRO argument" it was actually more like
a "JRO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PC" argument,
i.e. JRO easily posted 10 to 20 times more than I did, but
the few of my postings hit the spot I guess <grin>
