You goof balls! [

I offer and share my work with those here to further not only their creativity and enjoyment, but that of my own. Please do not let the Ebay incident cloud your judgement as to my motivations for that thread and the remarks about the Ebay seller.
Don asked me for permission, as have many other members here to use my work. I am always flattered and will always oblige. I have received a couple of emails from folks that are a little unsettling to me. Not beacuse the are rude, or impolite, but because now people might feel guarded and overthink my intentions of that post. I can understand why, but ask that it be understood that was not my intent.
One thing it has proven is that Ebay is the big company we all believe them to be. No resolution, and they finally told me that I have no way to prove that I am the legal owner of the photos unless I join some progam that requires the faxing of all of my personal information to Australia. What the !#$%^?
LOL... Skilled craftsman like we have here understand the importance and have the presence of mind to give credit where do. They know they are proud of their work and offer the courtesy of this praise towards the respected work of others.
Lastly Don, you asked me for permission for the photos used and it was given. I saw the original article and was flattered with the way the credit was given. I told you then and remind you now that you are to use those photos however you see fit! [

I surely appreciate the concern.
Cheers,
