Yeah, I was using hostphotofree before, and tinypic now.
I just use the one labelled as the most appropriate for mail
and news posts.

So, I *should* do:

http://tinypic.com/r/2mhzt4m/7

Yeah, but it only took seconds. I found a better clone for the
"B" after the fact. As I wrote in another post, it would have
been "perfect" had I edited the html locally instead of doing
the manipulations on BD's own screen cap.

I was in a hurry... D

For your future reference: one should never rush things when the
intention is to play to BD's paranoia.

What's the speed of his reading got to do with it?!!!

Is there any other way that the detail shown at the URL could be
changed, other than by the originator of the thread?

It's no good being a mentor if you can't determine the answers to my
questions! ;-)

If anything, I'd have thought it was his speed of *writing* was the culprit!

I believe you just *might* know the answer whereas I think Aardvark has
no clue. Please demonstrate to all your depth of knowledge and explain
exactly *how* it can be done, Peter.

I'm my own man, if that's what you mean!

Like Jenn, I abhor the herd mentality I've witnessed in newsgroups.

Of course, the originators only have edit power granted to them by the
administrator.
