Today I had to remove some of my stove pics. A person on the forum (members of the other site as well), used them with out permission to sell their stove. In all all 49 photos were all listed, including one with me in it. They also listed links to this site, TW's site, and others as references. Now, I don't know if they asked anyone for permission, but not mine for sure. If you go to their site about the stove it appears to be spam heaven!. So, as a warning to you out there, and an explanation as to my missing pics. It is what it is. I don't need this. All you have to do is ask. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..... so I need to stop now. cinnabar

I'm sorry to hear that cin. I know I have used others images here & there, but I try to at least credit the owner if I can remember where I got them from. Or at least say that if I've used it & that if it bothers you, let me know because I don't want to offend anyone. I'm just ravenous for information & images of things that interest me & I'm not always as careful in documenting where I get them from as I should be. Being a very visually minded person, I learn more from images that no amount of words can convey. But in all things, I wish to enlighten & inform rather than enrage & stupefy others. I hope this hasn't soured your outlook too much. There will always be those who take advantage of a kind & giving nature. We must be always be vigilant of that, but we mustn't let that make use too guarded that we become paralyze & cold. Sometimes it's a difficult balance to not fall one way or the other. It can often be like walking on the razors edge before the path widens to a comfortable road again. Take care & try to think good thoughts & keep your spirits up. Let the good thoughts overpower the bad. We must guard against walking in the dark places too long, before coming back into the light again.

Not to worry, pooka wasn't you. I get a little ticked at ppl who are rude. That is using a good 4 letter word too. They have not posted or been on the site in months and I doubt that they will be back. I feel that sharing information is great, but again.. to take something, with out asking, for personal gain, is down right uncool, rude and if I wanted to persue it, against the law. Mostly I wanted to let other members know what was going on and be aware. cinn

Yes, you're right. We don't want to see you when you're angry. Have a glass of homemade wine.
