I'm not entirely sure that it's a spoof.  (Okay, I *am* sure it isn't, but

can't quite reach it, then those extra 9's really matter...
right, I do understand that this site doesn't seem to be seriously "claiming"
these works, and there is a parody style to it that I find amusing, but I feel
that since it not clearly stating that he didn't make those designs, it is
stealing.

Sorry, that post was just my attempt at dry humor.  I don't deny that what this
kid is doing is illegal and unethical; please see my message at
http://news.lugnet.com/build/mecha/?n=1413 for my real view on this
issue.  Perhaps if I had said somthing like, "I am 99,99999999999999999% sure
it isn't a spoof"...?  :-,

BTW, how do y'all view the images on this kid's page?  I don't have anything
that handles the .art extention, so I'm kinda experiencing the sad saga by
proxy...

Cheers,
