Hey, Ironhart. Im with you on this subject. We see this time and time again. Periodically, when it gets to be too much, we IM the offender asking if they had purchased this item under a different user name as we didnt see their name on our buyers list. So far, most people have admitted receiving the items as "gifts" from another person. Seems like a lot of people dont understand (or dont care) that it is piracy and not right to accept these "gifts". Some have gone and purchased what they received. Of course, there are the others that do not respond back to the IM's and for those people, we know they know its not right but just dont care. If some of these people just knew what time, effort, and in a lot of cases money it takes us to create these products for them to create the images they envision, maybe then they would understand why we get so frustrated at times. There are a lot of people who have the attitude that we are just in it to make a buck, but you know, the little that we do make on our products, for some of us, will pay our bills or put food on our table, or give us the opportunity to buy our children that extra little gift or a pair of shoes. hugz Fyrene
