Hi Steve and everyone,
It's a sign of one of the sicknesses in our modern world that is nothing
more than a legalized con game, that anyone can sue for use of their
photograph in non-commercial situations. Can't folks see the good side
of having their pictures published? It burns me up, this world of lawyers.
Cheerlessly,
Rich Lahrson
