Cheapo site?  What the... never mind.

Dang, I would gladly make my site slow to make the design that good.

But aside from that, I'm with you, Bram.  I think that this recent rage of
taking other people's photos and resubmitting them without any
identification is very annoying.

However, I must agree with Chris on the fact that IMHO this guy is jsut some
11-year old kid just figuring out how to work the pointer and compiling a
gallery of 'cool stuff.'  I doubt this has any bad intent, and I doubt that
if the person was a kid, he would know of any ramifications of doing this,
either.  He probabbly just skipped the TOS right over, along with any fine
print.

Is it a waste of space?  I can't say about that.  While several copied
photos should not be there, and those screenshots are probabbly multiplying
like rabbits on BS, this is the guy's (kid's) own space.  And BS wasn't
supposed to be an AFOL genius creation site, either.

Thanks for bringing this up, Bram.  BTW, that is a cool little MOC!  Don't
get discoured by all this.  Keep building!
