"inappropriate?" Ah, the Robert Johnson question . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Huh? What's he mean?) Have you got 10 days, a ream of paper, seventeen Biros and a decent lawyer?! Well now, Robert Johnson, so the legend goes, went down to the crossroad and sold his soul to the Devil in return for fame as a Blues Guitarist, yes? Me, all I did was go to Art School and work very, very hard, to be a professional artist who always dealt with his legitimate clients in an honourable way, but as a bi-product I'm "quite well known in a lot of places I'd not planned on" - put it that way. If I've planned it right, any day I hear I'm going to meet my maker I'll put up the carefully prepared web page that lists where the bodies are buried and who shot me! However, just like another Blues Guitarist of fame, Leadbelly, anytime anyone came (or comes) within "accessible legal range" they get a reenactment of the movie's last scene "he stuck me wid his knife, but I stuck him better". Moral for infringers? : "what part of "not yours" is hard to understand?" If you want to avoid having the moral police line my pocket with your wallet's contents, better be well out of range, baby! I was "brought up proper" and where I come from theft is something you just don't do and in some places I hear they cut your hands off if caught . . . . . . . . . I also was taught to take responsibility for my mistakes and errors, so I've never had time for the "I'm sorry, I thought I was doing you (me) a favour" obfuscatory version, either. As to "bizarre uses?" No. I think I may have been spared that. I think the closest but innocuous use is on the petrol tank of a Harley, but that's about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PETER ANDREW JONES PUBLISHING - "Decidedly Different" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon
