I steal most of my avatars. Do I need to turn myself in? I should call Mrs. ozedge's brother who is a special agent with the FBI.

not sure if you're trying to be funny or not, but the issue is if it's a picture obvious to an owner we all know who to give credit to for the pict. if it's mickey mouse, we all know it's disney's without someone stating it.

but if it's a picture of a member here who actually put in the effort to make a detailed diy for everyone, nicely finished, and unique, it's different. you can't just post someone else's pict without giving credit to that person.

also you're suppose to post a pict of your actual part that you're selling.

My post was an attempt at humor -- I guess it failed. My brother in law is really an FBI agent though. Kate's family is full of overacheivers.

I take ripping off people's intellectual and artistic work seriously -- it has happened to me many times -- not here, but in other venues as well as at work. The OP in that thread should have reached out for help rather than taking liberties with other people's work.

I hate knock-offs in all realms. Whether it's rims or a handbag, it's bad enough to steal the design, but then to go and put the logo of the company that you're ripping off on your fake just pushes it to the next level.
My tint/graphics guy had a bunch of VOLK and RAYS stickers on his workbench. They're for kids with Rota TE-37's. I gave him a lecture about integrity.

very luna-like.

yah, it is insulting. but then again, how do people live with themselves putting faux rims and faux stickers and thinking it's cool? not only is it unethical, you're living a fake lifestyle.

i guess some folks rather live the fake than face reality.

oh this is very uncool.

hey everyone, please post your disgust to this guy's ad!

WOT today too! Engineering put in some untested software changes to the VAC system which has turned things into a very poorly running bag of doo-doo. Now they're crying because targets are not being met...

I was too lazy to get under there with a camera and take my own.

Tsk tsk.

I know poop happens. Normally I could care less about people using my photos, especially when they are used to help other people out. In this case I was bothered by it because it is a FS add where someone is using my photo for their profit. I normally get paid to do proper product photography. Anyhow, I have seen how some FS deals go sour because people don't read the add and rely on the provided pictures for reference. I don't want to be associated with that.

Guess the heat and long days dealing with know-it-all engineers have taken it's toll on me. Sorry for venting guys.

You know what I hate? I hate it when people that used to manage particular POS old school devices on the network (DEC Terminal Servers) couldn't be bothered to spread a little experience to fellow teammates in need with regards to said POS because it's not in their job description anymore. Makes me want to choke 'em out.

Ok, I've said my bit now too! Sorry!

I feel your pain. We have an up to date side of the business and a antique side of the business combined with major reductions in skilled trades and an aging work force. Training doesn't exist for those who want it, old guys don't want to learn the new tech as they are close to retiring, and they don't care to tell anyone what they know about the old tech, and the company is so short sighted, they only care about the profits today and not long term profits...

Hell in a hand basket. As long as if my paycheck is in my bank account every Thursday, I can deal with the circus.
