Eric

Pleased to see you are still visiting this newsgroup. I have been enjoying
your non orchid photos on Flickr and thanks for posting the ones you took in
Kuching with my camera!! I was wondering what to do with those.

I sent the pirates an e-mail asking them to at least acknowledge my efforts
if they want to use my photos but have not received a reply. Am I
surprised?!

Cheers

John

John,

Nah, see my other post for why I've not been around.

Photo piracy, like Music and Video piracy, is a fact of life, and while I
police it when and where I find it, I'm going to continue posting. Too
many people benefit from all of our work and time in documenting the rich
plant life on this planet for thieves to stop that. Of course, everyone
has to make that decision for themselves.

I'll check out that site and if I think a nicely composed email outlining
what can happen to those who use photos without permission will be useful,
I'll send it.

starting to question whether I will continue to post to usenet. I note
that Eric has stopped posting here.
