Let this be a stopping place, A learning place, a dreaming place. Why this site exists. This has also pushed all our other activities and projects into evening and weekend time. The good news is that we are persisting with the creative and magickal projects, and there will be something to show for all this effort.
People work hard on their sites, from text to graphics, and it's important to respect that.
I always ask for permission to use graphics, from decks or other sites. But people have a right to their creative works. The really sad thing was that the person was rather talented with the graphics. I'd have gladly worked out a deal with someone for the effort they put in to pretty up my content that they used. I'll keep everyone updated, but I think the person responded maturely.
