And, yeah, I know they don't want the hassle, but neither do I! :( I'd rather be spending my time playing in soil than dealing with low-lifes.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527514833267869251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753235.post-32074510069693001372010-03-08T00:54:00.612-05:002010-03-08T00:54:00.612-05:00Oh - I just realized that they're _crediting_ ...Oh - I just realized that they're _crediting_ you.

They don't want the hassle. They just want to steal what is easy to steal.

As for referring to an attorney, uh, who has money for that?

Thanks fo...Hey there, Kyna,<br />thanks for stopping by!<br />Thanks for the sympathy. Yes, theft is a big problem. I've heard from quite a few bloggers that it is the main reason they don't post a lot of pictures that they'd like to. How sad is that?
