Sure looks like it. I wonder if anyone else actually counted the number
of LEGS on 'Annika's' children...and what's he doing making their eyes
bloodshot? Child Services should be notified at once.

Has anyone yet proven that Bret is posting as Helen Silverberg? She
fawns over his every word..much like an alter ego would.

speak for yourself.

Can you post a link again? I didn't
see it. But "Anuska" isn't the same
person as "Anika1980". If "Anuska"
did snag you image and did not post
a attribution to you. Then that person is
nothing more than rat droppings. So get off
your high horse and re-post the links.
Prove we are wrong. We are big enough
to admit our goofs. Are you?

Getting even isn't good enough.

Didn't want to steal your thunder.

(Actually didn't care much at all).
And Bret _did_ change the title, so chill.

Merry Christmas!

Tried to post a response earlier, but my news server is messed up, so
forgive me if this one ends up as a duplicate.

In my case it's because I never see Brett's postings. He bored me
several years ago, so I filter him. I'll occasionally see one because
someone else comments on it. Nothing so far has made me think he's any
less boring.

What you describe is indeed also un-called for. Then again, I have no
reason to expect any better from Brett. I don't see why you would want
to stoop to his level.

As far as I can see, he simply lightened your image to show what the
title was about.  He had to post it somewhere for you to see it, and he
even offered, if you sent him the original file, to fix that for you.

And he attributed it to "some anonymous dude named Mike".  You *are*
anonymous, with mII as your ID, and Mike as your sig, just as most of us
on these groups are more or less anonymous, me included, so what the
hell else is he supposed to put?

In my country (New Zealand) there is what's called the 'tall poppy
syndrome'.  Anybody who comes to attention, specially if they're doing
well with what they do, gets castigated, ridiculed, even hated, by the
masses who couldn't aspire to the same level of performance.

Bret takes pictures.  Mostly interesting, a lot good, some so-so, and he
posts them for others to enjoy. Some - a few - do enjoy them.  Most,
like yourself, just show hatred and, yes, even jealousy - though they
would never admit it.  They just have to knock down any tall poppies.

Credit where credit's due is an old saying, and a good one.  But,
instead of giving Bret credit for trying to help, you slam him for
posting *your* image on *his* site.  You're just one of the
poppy-knocking masses.

I could find no post from Annika that called you an anonymous sh.t.
