Vent

Someone has said, with great accuracy, that the Internet is the world's largest copy machine. So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to see one of my photographs on someone else's site--but I was surprised anyway.


I've discovered this photograph from my Tiny Sewing Notions Page on a couple of different websites. One was a list of links (and at least they included a link to my site). Another was in the index of a French Barbie pattern site. If they had bothered to ask first, I probably would've been so flattered that I'd have granted any reasonable request. As it is, I end up feeling annoyed. Whatever happened to old-fashioned courtesy? Or am I being naive to expect that on the Internet?
