If You Plan on Hotlinking…
Plan on this:
I occasionally swap my images around to prevent the gang of Lichtenstein hotlinkers who display images from my server on their MySpace profiles.
While I enjoy Lichtenstein’s work, I still question his ethics, since he took his images directly from retro comics. How appropriate that many of his fans are secondhanders as well, leeching off of my server’s bandwidth. >;)
Dear Image Surfers,
SAVE IMAGES TO YOUR OWN SERVER, LINK BACK - OTHERWISE, PREPARE FOR PUBLIC HUMILIATION!
Love,
Amy

Fair Enough…although the image you replaced it with is just as cool anyway :) I apologize, but I must wonder how much bandwidth 20KB really sucks up, and to be honest I just snagged it from a google image search so I might’ve thought twice had I taken time to read the disclaimer as well as the article. I’ve been a fan ever since I saw “Live Ammo” in the Chrysler Musuem of Art and its a shame to think that the bulk of his work is completely derrivative.

You’ve got good taste in art, Kirk! >;) I admire the character in owning up and responding to my antagonism. You’re alright in my book.
The reason I get antagonistic is because I pay for my domain and webspace - I figure others should do the same or use an inexpensive image hosting service.
