Nigel

To be honest a first post of introduction may have helped

As it stood the fisrst post was only made becuase he had trouble trying to use our gallery shots

No harm in that at all....but personally I would aske before considereing it.. but it would have looked better if he had not come in like that.

No disrepect to David and he is not the first to come in with a question but with a lot going on behind the scenes at the moment it is clear why Rick was a little touchy

Gary,

yes, I agree, a little introduction might have been helpful. To be honest though, if I needed some images for my own personal use, I don't know if I would even think to find the message board and ask permision to download. If they are on the web, they are already downloaded in the browser cache! If you know what your doing it easy enough to find the image in the browser cache and do whatever you want with it (personal use of course).

If I did need help, then I would seek the message boards to ask and hopefully would remember my manners and introduce myself first before jumping in with a question.

I am trying to remember what my first post here was, but can't! :-(

Where is my Zimmer Frame?

Rick. I am not trying to steal your material,if I was I would not come asking on this forum . I am very offended that you think I am a thief. As regards the pics I downloaded I only wanted to use them as Thumbnails for freeware that do not have one. And only for use on my flightsim which I believe is the general idea for you making your projects avaible as freeware or is it ?

Hi David

if you read it again i was saying it was suspicious.

if your that offended i apologise but i am a little thin skinned over the current Piracy that is killing this hobby for me.

I think a rough estimate of time i have inversted to bring Freeware to simmers is at least 15,000 hours of my time which i think is worthy of a kneejerk in anyones view!

i didn't re edit my original post but if you read right through you will see why i jumped to an incorrect conclusion and you will see i was told this by many of my friends.

Rick :roll:
