I THINK MOST OF US ARE NOT CONCERENED WITH OTHERS USING THE INFORMATION OR PICTURES WE POST OPENLY HERE AS THEY SORT OF BECOME PUBLIC DOMAIN WHEN POSTED. BUT AS JIM MENTIONED WE WOULD NOT LIKE OUR INFORMATION OR NAME USED ON SOME LESS THAN HONEST SALE OR DEAL.
FORUM MEMBERS SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN GAINING AND SHAREING KNOWLEGE NOT IN CAUSING OFFENSE AND WE WOULD ALL SOUND SILLY IF WHEN WE STATED SOMETHING WE HAD LEARNED HERE WE HAD TO ALSO SAY QUOTE AND THE PERSONS NAME AND DATE HE SAID IT.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A REFRENCE STOCKPILE BORROWING PICTURES FOR SOME TIME AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAVE NEEDED TO USE A PICTURE FROM SOMEONE ELSE TO SHOW WHAT KIND OF SWORD I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND SIMULARITYS OR WHY I REASONED AS I DID. OFTEN IT MAY BE A MEMBERS PICTURE OF A SWORD AND AS I ONLY LABEL THE PICTURE AS TO WHAT IT IS NOT WHERE I GOT IT OR WHO IT BELONGED TO I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IT BELONGS TO. SO FAR NO ONE HAS BEEN OPENLY OFFENDED BY THIS AND I HOPE NO ONE HAS BEEN AS NO OFFENSE WAS INTENDED AND I DON'T KNOW WHO TO GIVE CREDIT TO.
ANOTHER GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING THESE PICTURES IS IF THEY GO MISSING FROM OLD POSTS THEY COULD BE REPLACED. WHEN THE PICTURES DISSAPEAR FROM OLD POSTS IT OFTEN MAKES THE POST WAY LESS IMFORMATIVE AS WE CAN NO LONGER SEE THE ITEMS BEING DISCUSSED.
IN THE PAST MANY DEALERS FIX IT SO YOU CAN'T GET THEIR PICTURES AND THEN WHEN THE SALE IS DONE THE PICTURES GO IN THE DELETE TRASH AND ARE LOST FOREVER. IT IS A WASTE BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEM THERE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PUT THEM IN YOUR COMPUTER AND IT IS THE PERSONS CHOICE WHAT HE DOES WITH HIS PICTURES.
LATELY THERE IS SOME OTHER PROGRAM BEING USED THAT ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE THE FILE BUT IT CAN'T BE OPENED, MOVED OR DELETED SO YOU JUST HAVE A DEAD CHUNK OF MEMORY TAKEING UP SPACE IN YOUR COMPUTER FOREVER. IF THIS BECOMES MORE COMMON I WILL HAVE TO STOP BUILDING A REFRENCE AS I WILL SOON HAVE TOO MUCH JUNK THAT I CAN'T PUT IN THE APPROPRIATE FOLDER OR DO ANYTHING WITH AT ALL. SOME OF THESE HAVE HAVE COME FROM FORUM POSTED PICTURES AND IT IS A FAIRLY RECENT THING IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO. ITS KIND OF LIKE GETTING REVENGE ON ANY WHO TRY TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING NO THIS IS MINE (COPYWRITE)

I PERSONALLY DON'T MIND IF SOME ONE USES ANYTHING HE LEARNED FROM ME OR IF A SELLER USES INFORMATION I GAVE TO SELL SOMETHING. IF I WAS LIKE SOME I WOULD SAY KNOWLEGE IS POWER AND HOARD WHAT LITTLE I KNOW AND NEVER SHARE AND GLOAT THAT I KNEW SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T AND TAKE IT TO MY GRAVE WITH ME.
FORTUNATELY THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO COLLECT THIS KNOWLEGE AND LEAVE BOOKS OR PAPERS OR COLLECTIONS WITH CATALOGED INFORMATION FOR THE REST OF US OR WE WOULD KNOW EVEN LESS OF THE HISTORY OF WEAPONS THAN WE DO.
THIS FORUM IS AND WILL BE A VERY VALUABLE RESOURCE IN THE FUTURE.
