Another bit of information.  While I was over there a little bit ago checking the links, images were disappearing about as fast as I could click.  It takes me about an hour to clean up my system after I go there so I didn't want to go over right away again.  I am wondering if this is an indicator that they have to move to another user name and site to hit us again. 

I know, from my line of work, that images are the easiest thing to steal.  If they are posted, nothing is safe.  With tools like SnagIt and other screen capture tools, it's easy to take images.  The harder part, but can be done, is the removal of imbedded copyright watermarks.  A little healing brush or cloning will fix much of that if one is patient.  How do I know this?  I've seen it done by people I went to school with.

I like the idea of disabling the right click, but it just slows them down.  The skin over the image is even better.  Being more aware of the world and watching out for each other as we have done this week is the best though.  Everyone has rallied.

Good luck everyone.  Bunny
