We all thank you for that. And we all did a great job collectively at drawing a great deal of attention to it. I think that's the best we could hope for in all this. Everyone, you and I included, have enough going on in our lives that it's really impossible to pursue stuff like this "to the bitter end." In the long run, a lot has been learned by everyone. Among the people affected by this, I believe, are the ones who bought the book online. They ended up getting a book full of low-rez art. At least people buying the book in a bookstore were able to leaf through it and realize it wasn't worth buying. And we artists probably learned a few lessons about what work we share online, and how we do it. I don't want anyone to freak out and take everything off-line, that's definitely the wrong response. But I'm seriously thinking about keeping far FEWER images online -- on my site and other soc-net sites, like Flickr -- to at least be able to better keep tabs on what's out there. I don't know if it'll make a difference in the long run though. Thanks again Darren, and everyone! You did more than most buddy! We all thank you for that.
