Tom,
Thanks, these are basically exactly what my concerns are you just explain it
much better. I currently host pictures of others models and their descriptions
of their models but I have had to edit much of what I put up to take out
anything that is descriptive.
That being said, if this is something that ends up happening and if I end up
hosting the site it will be for Adults only (aka 18 years old and up).
Tom thanks again for the great description of what I was having trouble getting
across.
Eric,
Jawaspam is best well done.
