I've also snipped all the rest away because I agree with it, close enough, and I
want to focus on certain things
But if I get it right, what your trying to say is that posting in newsgroups etc
is easily overlooked and taken for granted so it is important to recognise
credit where it is due, at let the authors get the glory they deserve. With that
I agree as would most others. (just not in as many words)
But just to get the record straight there are just a couple of facts in your
posting that need to be corrected

The link to Brickshelf is not my folder, (in fact I don't have any folders on
Brickshelf at all) It IS the original link from the author ,gm(80), who I assume
made the images.
But, you are right and originally I should have done that, and in future I will.

In future I will give credit were is is due. Didn't intentionally go out to
mislead or take credit for anything, just wanted to start a discussion.
Definitely succeeded there, not the discussion I originally set out to have but
interesting none the less. You lived up to your reputation Larry. And with that
I suggest the topic is closed (about the images) and we can get back to letting
Lego know we want new curved track! so with that all I can say is.............
Someone sent me this link, isn't it cool, I want to thank
whoever did the original work and I want to take the topic up again.
