Image Thief by Ralphael1
In a previous post three links were posted. When I click the link all I get is a "Stop Image Thief." Doesn't look like a patent protection thing but more of an individual's personal blockage. I have never encountered this before, blocked images yes, but not this type. Anyone know anything about...

Criticised with class! by Rodney
You know, to a lot of young people (read under 21 yo) driving around my neighbourhood, I must be regarded as a "boring old fart" if I count the amount of derision directed towards me because I insist on driving within the speed limit. The derision comes generally in the form of an extended digit...
