This is a thread I should probably keep my nose out of but..
Peter ( ListerDiesel ) is correct.
If you have been to his site, you would be amazed at the amount of info on it.
A lot that can not be found anywhere else all in one place and he was still ADDING to it.
That takes dedication of tremendous precious time , resources and for what.
I have downloaded from his site and I should have sent him a note thanking him for his generous
offering.
I sit here and thankyou Peter for your willingness to share your information for the better of all of us. And your sacrifice of time, energy, money and sweat to make your website available to us FREE of charge.
From what I remember Peter had to do numerous alterations from the original scans he did to clean them up from what they were previously, dark smudges.
That takes a lot of time, time that could be better spent elsewhere in probably more productive pursuits.
I do believe I read somewhere on Peters site that his images were for personal use and not
to be published without contacting him for permission first or something to that effect. Correct me if I am wrong.
As to the watermark question it would be easy to check the info properties of the image and check with the originals on Peters site if they are one and the same.
GuyFawkes went through something like this , only more odeous, when he uploaded full manuals of SOMs on his site ( some that had not been seen anywhere else at the time and I thank him also for this, Thanks John !! ) and they were copied and sold outright on fleabay much to his consternation.
His reaction was to yank them also.
Although this did not happen to Peter ( in this instance ) but at first it starts out small and then escalates, maybe not with the OP but with others later on.
Peter is fully in his right to yank it all, nip it in the bud.
We are all poorer for it and I hope he reconsiders his decision .
Perhaps the OP can persuade him in this.
Off my soapbox.
