Well, I feel like I have to stick my two cents in here, since Zues has
mentioned something of this to me in the past.  When you post your artwork
to the net, you always run the risk of misattribution or none at all.  I
don't know which is worse, myself.  I think I'd rather have an 'artist
unknown' or nothing at all rather than have someone else take credit for my
work.  The only option is not to post at all, like Susie has vowed, and
thus we lose wonderful artwork.  But I do tend to find that it rubs me the
wrong way when Mike wants recognition for his stuff, and doesn't want to
recognize others.  Then again, not many people want to go through all the
art and post collections like he does, either.  I'm very
"middle-of-the-road" on this issue, myself.
