Thanks, Uryoces. And sorry about the f word, but I was very annoyed.
...
In the US, copyright is now implied; I don't have to directly state it to claim it.
And, given the "community spirit" (aka "relaxed atmosphere") of The Cellar, I shouldn't have to expect that others will take a (admittedly a low-resolution JPEG) copy of one of my images, "mess" with it and then post the messed-with version as a joke.
And yet it has happened twice now, which I think really sucks for a lot of reasons, some of which have to do with my inflated opinion of my own artistic abilities relative to a lot of what gets posted here as a "quality" image.
Yes, this is a hot-button issue for me.
