When I get something like that I usually send it back to whoever sent it to me - as many times as it says I should... (in this case 5 copies...) or more if I'm in a bad mood.... Don't spread the disease! Kill it! Bomb the spreaders of this shit by returning the required number of copies back to them! > How do I go about finding out who made these, and putting the SIGs on > before sending them out?

What irritates me about this credit thing is when people try to give me credit for something that I didn't make (or call me "lizard" - I am not llizard!) and, of course, this constant nagging about them.... (I have found that I have to write "I did not make these pictures, I do not know who did, if some of them don't have initials on them don't yell at me because of it...... etc etc etc" or some people will instantly start bitching about it). I haven't yet come across somebody who's put his/her own initials on one of my pictures but I think that would probably be extremely irritating too... General advice: don't mess with the signatures! If a picture has one don't remove it, if it doesn't don't add one! (there's a risk of people getting irritated in either case...) You could always post the pictures here instead of just describing them... :) > > Any help is greatly appreciated, and post either here or email me > personally. > > Thanks- > > CJ > maru@frii.com -- :) Veronica Karlsson ( e93-vkn@sm.luth.se http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/ )
