. . . that would be a violation of copyright law.
Geno: only if the images are copyrighted -- and, if they were, I assume that the copyright holder would be Quinn, not George. But that's a side issue. Be that as it may . . .
Maybe you should just suggest someone else violate the law? Oh, wait, thats what you did.
The law to which you refer being copyright law? I only want to
see the images that he "lets" IE users see. I have no interest in copying them, and as a maintainer of several hobby websites myself, I know firsthand how it hurts to have others use my work and call it their own. I have had extensive original work lifted whole and copied to another site. But I don't attempt user-agent-specific code to avoid that situation, because when you put barriers between your message and the recipient, you lose audience.
So when I typed, "Someone should put the text and images on a web page so everyone can see them, this looks like an interesting article," I meant just that. Just like 99.5% of the rest of the web. If I make information available on a webpage, I make it
available. Not just to IE users or Firefox users or even graphical-interface users. If you want to browse my site using Lynx or whatever, you still have all the info I wrote available to you. George hasn't, and that's a shame because he has a huge collection of good information.
Joe: I assume that one or several folks reading this right now have an established relationship with George. That assumption is based on his name coming up every five posts
I am not an influencer in George's world the way some of you are. I put my initial suggestion out there to see if the "problem" was really a problem: if it only affects 1% of George's audience, who cares? But if it's a larger problem than that, then perhaps someone should tell George that
that page has a bunch of black squares where many of Quinn's pictures should be. I showed why that happens specifically, and why it's not a Good Thing.
Sorry if I've ruffled feathers -- Geno, I'm talking to you here. I respect others work and their rights. I am also a vocal critic of Things That Don't Work. And I know things and appreciate others who also know things -- which is why this is a good place to lurk or speak out, as the case may be.
