Some answers to your questions;
Why general: because I posted a general question.
Why post the link: because by saying that there’s an issue in
Brickshelf would cause people to flood over there to see what's amiss.
(By saying there’s a fire in Brickshelf everyone would turn around and
check, but, by posting a question directly regarding the situation would
hopefully incur some help.)
> a lot better by dropping a note to Kevin
That's a good idea, to inform the Brickshelf administrator of the problem.
Yet, I was unaware of who the administrator was, and I didn’t know how to
contact him.
Plus, I also wanted to understand the reasoning behind the individuals purpose!
Did he/she do it for attention…
Did someone hack-into his/her Brickshelf folder and manipulate the image…
I posted to general for assistance… not to be lectured!
I'd hoped that those with the means would do something…
I didn’t post to admin cause Suz usually takes a day to respond…
So I posted to you guys… its up to us to do something.
I saw the problem first, and I asked for assistance.
Hopefully you acted upon your suggestion, that's what
I expected someone to do. For I didn’t know what else to do!
I was just asking for help,
--==Richard==--
Just one question, if it was so wrong to bring up the link, why did so many
of you include it in your response…seriously why! I brought it to attention
for purposes of help, surely you could of responded without proliferating
the link? Conversely, you could have e-mailed me with your suggestion and
took action quietly on your own. Action that I didn’t know how to go about!

| (...) A simple "How do I contact the Brickshelf administrator?" would have produced the required information fairly swiftly. And discussing the "Why?" belongs much better here in .debate. ROSCO (25 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| (...) That raises a good point. The logical place to look for contact info specific to a site is typically the site's "front door", in this case www.brickshelf.com (contrast with LUGNET(tm) which has a clear way to contact admins on the front (...)
