Re: don't take my graphics! (WAS Re: hiding Html from Viewers)

TO: The GVG
(Note for newbees--GVG stands for Graphics Vigilante Group)

My sincere best wishes toward finding a way to "protect" a
publicly displayed graphic.

However, this subject reminds me of a local California city,
(Yuba City I believe), that decided to protect themselves from
nuclear bombs should World War Three break out. They simply
passed an ordinance outlawing nuclear weapons within their city
limits.

I wish them luck as well. However, in a real and practical sense,
I believe both subjects share the same chance of success toward
the desired protection goals.

If I may repeat myself, the only safe place for graphics that I
know of, is a bank vault --assuming you trust the banker.

Best wishes
