wow, I never thought this thread would take this direction,. It was only intended to divert you from posting this stuff in that other thread, and you know how I hate when you do that! I am truly flattered!

Warning: Newbie Opinion Alert:
I agree with Tireman as well. :) I'll also say that Edge was allowed to enter with his 'watermarked' image. People voted and he won. If his website being on his image was ever a problem, it never should have been posted for folks to vote on. But it was, he won and that should be that. I can see where being a professional photographer you'd want to copyright protect your work. His win should be honored, chalk it up as a lesson, note it for next month and move on. Just my .02!

I gotta give that a nomination myself. The problem with this whole thing is that someone in charge should have emailed EdgeofSpeed right away and told him that he couldn't submit his pics with the watermark. Then he could have made his choice to take them off or not. He probably wouldn't have gotten pissed off at the result, and would have stayed a member. Instead, we have probably lost him, and upset alot of people, with the possibility of losing more. The member's of this website should not have to police it. That is the job of others, I mean someone is making $$ here and it ain't me. This whole thing was totally avoidable. Todd(Uma)

Mistakes were made and that is why I am trying to move forward with this..... well, it's a mistake if nothing was learned from it. So, it's an opportunity for me to make good in the future.
