I stole your images, put them back or I will call a lawyer

Incredible.

The twist is that moving images breaks legitimate inline image posts as well, like me posting my images from flickr at this site. If I replace an image on flickr it breaks the link to this site which of course I can fix but it’s a pain. And, I know others legitimately blog my images from flickr and those links do get broken as I replace images. It happens rarely but it does happen.

As for the person who wrote the email linked to above, I’m speechless.

It must be a spoof.

Alex: Really? I fell for a spoof?

I don’t think it’s a spoof:
