Hmm, maybe that's the heart of the controversy right there!

I dunno about the net population at large, but I'd certainly experience
guilt feelings if I summoned up an image to which there was no readily-
obvious hyperlink, because I'd assume that the reason there was no link
was because I wasn't supposed to see it or find it.  Then again, I'm not
someone who snoops in people's medicine cabinets either (not that anyone
here is).

That's silly.  Those two have absolutely nothing to do with each
other.

Brad even specifically mentioned something about "by accident or by
intent".  So you're telling me that if you accidentally mistype a
character in a URL and end up seeing an image you can't find a
hyperlink to you feel guilty?  That's preposterous.

I won't say you're wrong and I'm right but I will say that if you
honestly feel guilt over something this, well, stupid, you're silly
and I'm not.  :)

(...) What two? (...) Heh heh...no, that's not what I meant by "summoned up"; I was referring to snooping or URL trolling. If I summoned up an image by accident, I'd be surprised more than anything else. --Todd (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
