You might have noticed that his price for that Sikhote-Alin is also totally out of line. My suggestion: Don't bid on it! By now he might have noticed that Jim has switched the picture (Very good move Jim!), so that and the lack of bids might get him to realize that he did something wrong.

I would venture a guess that most people really don't stop to think about there being any problem with linking to a photo on a web site, or think about bandwidth costs. After all, most people don't run web sites or pay for bandwidth, so they don't even realize that peope have to pay for it. You don't have to pay to use MySpace or any of the other past and present free web sites, and that is about the only experence people have with making a web page. For instance, 20 MB of web space comes free with my broadband account. All the times I've posted documents and photos and videos for access by the mailing list, I put it in that space. I don't know how much it is accessed, I don't know who accesses it, and I don't even know how/what softwere to use to find out from where each file is accessed. If Charter has any type of bandwidth restrictions on the free space, I've never read it, or heard complaints about me overusing it, so I don't even think about it. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi list members! I'm the seller "Basilicofresco". Yes, the bandwidth stealer! First of all I wish to express my apologies to Jim Strope for the direct linking of the image of one Sikote Alin crater. When I wrote the auction layout in Turbolister I direct linked the image in order to immediately see how well it fit. On 5 December I read about the special discount on insertion fees and I hurriedly put the auction on ebay. I simply forgot to replace the url. I did not ask the permission for three reasons: the image was copyright-free, I really don't need image hosting because I have my own website without any traffic limit and I did not realized I was still direct linking the image. I don't read the meteorite-list and I corrected the problem as soon some collectors warned me. If Jim would have sent me a message I would immediately remove the direct link. I hope the extra traffic (about 5MB) didn't cause you any significant damage. By the way, nice joke Jim.

Hi Dave... No Problem. I don't mind anyone taking images from my website, even the photos that I take myself.
