Alright, the blessings of the almighty Todd, not to be confused witht hte
almighty Larry! :)




Actually, I'd prefer it most if you -didn't- acknowledge the source (or at
the very most saying something very short and simple such as "Set image
courtesy of LUGNET").  Acknowledgements like that just make the source seem
less "always available" and more "special" or "incidental."  It's best IMHO
if people simply take the resource for granted rather than acknowledging it.

Alright, I will do that in the future.

Also, once someone clicks on the link, the page that comes up takes care of
identifying itself in the URL box and the color band across the top including
the logo and the "Home" link.  And it's unnecessary to ask people not to link
directly to the picture because the server prevents this anyway.

Alright, I will modify that in the future. I am playing around with Ebay a
little, nothing I would want to do too much!

You're OK!  :)  You could make the text simpler and quicker for people to • read,
though, if you deleted the two sentences below the link (the ones you quoted
above) and made the link text something like "6544 in the LUGNET Set Database"
or "6544 at LUGNET" or something along those lines.

Alrighty! Thank you, sir. Funny, this is one of the few subscriptions I don't
have, and I didn't see your response until Larry posted something in auction.
Thanks again!

Scott S.
