Tennis,

I found some of my pictures (which I had uploaded to the totally safe and
secure Internet last year) stolen once by an cheating orchid grower in god
forsaken Moldova... or maybe it was Romania. I mean who really honestly
knows where the border is over there anyhow?

Anyways, I was very upset. I stood up and stamped my feet on my cool
wall-to-wall Italian marble floor (taking care not to step on any cracks to
avoid bad luck of course)... then I cannonballed into my heated outdoor pool
and splashed my go-fast boat real good. Then I jumped in my Beemer and
squealed my tires for three seconds down the block.

When I drove back home I felt so much better after this exercise of
aggressive behavior against that ******* Moldovan. I would suggest the same
thing for you also to ease your concern... unless of course you don't have
any toys to relive your frustration and worrying about $100 in lost photo
royalties (or license-to-use) is a big deal for you... then in that case
hire a contract hitman and "remove" this offending inconsiderate party from
the orchid world if you know what I mean. I think those are the only two
basic choices in this situation. I hope my humble opinion/suggestion helps
you out on this problem in some small way.

PS, Or you could follow my rule... if I have a photo I don't want stolen
then I never upload it to the Internet or show it digitally to anyone. It
always works for me.

You know I always like to help RGOers out on these never-ending boring
orchid photo stealing problems as best I can.
