my dear Igorrock why mention the ugly 'politics' red-herring - go to my first post which shows the core issue is the lack of capacity for direct uploading of fotos is having an impact on the level of contributions to the site - thats it - simply an adminstrative/efficiency based issue - nothing political at all

as for re-use of material on the web being difficult to control I understand it fully from first hand experience : a member on this site fairly recently posted intellectual property belonging to me on this site without even asking for permission - seeking permission would not have been difficult to, just an email as a courtesy - I didn't complain then ( nor am I now) because the effect in that case was harmless - neither assisting nor impacting achievement of my objective

mind you I hope he realises who I am referring to and doesn't repeat the discourtesy!
