Apparently Dudley People like some of those who offered you advise have
no regard for the copyright or other people. One such person is Paul
Furman who pretended to offer you advise on composition of your picture.

He took some of my images, without my permission, illegally altered them
without my consent and attempted to discredit my findings of an example
of two different cameras, with thousands of dollars price difference not
producing all that different a quality image with the altered images.

Despite legal action being commenced today against his host, he figured
he'd leave the evidence in place with just the index image removed. So
yes... Reminding people reading this thread that my images are copyright
and that I will pursue my intellectual property rights in protecting
myself against such idiots is very timely.

I don't for a single moment suggest you are in the same gutter as he is.
The warning was timely for the other idiots inhabiting these photo
groups who think nothing is illegal on Usenet.
