(...) Well, a couple thoughts here; first, there may be a completely innocent reason; the most obvious one I can think of is ignorance. I've found that at least half the time something like this gets done; especially on the net, the "offender" isn't (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) Someone else seems to have had a problem with this whole situation too. The gallery in question is no where to be found and the accusational images the 2 VLC people posted ( rightly so imho )are erased as well. I agree that it was a (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-02, to lugnet.general)
