Jim,
Whether it could or couldn't is a subjective observation with the conclusion reserved to each individual who reads the thread. I have no quarrel with Mike and I certainly have no quarrel with you.

Private email is one alternative. Generally, when someone sends me an email I replay. In this particular instance NO email was EVER sent requesting permission. I guess even after I made my statement (within my write-up)I expected a courteous email requesting permission. One never came. Therefore, a reader COULD conslude I changed my mind about aloowing the use of my pictures; which I did. I hope this satisfies your questions. If I want to start an arguement with you I certainly could pick a better topic than pictures. Maybe I would select how you Marines took credit for battles we "mud-pounders"
REALLY won. Just kidding Jim!

In addition, is there something else which is bothering you involving me? The reason I ask is I never exeperienced you being so upset over a topic that doesn't really involve you. I also have never seen you come to the defense of individuals with such vigor when they are correct about something, anything let alone defend an action that was not right.

Have a nice Sunday!
Jim
