Offline much of today and this week as I’m doing a special project that will have me offline a lot. Guest posters feel free to jump in. Details below.
Those that wish to write guest posts can compose them and submit via the newly created Submit Story submission form. For image insertion into posts, may I suggest the free www.tinypic.com which Bob Tisdale regularly uses?
Posts don’t have to be long. They can be short news blurb summaries of about 150-250 words, much like is done at slashdot.org or they can be full fledged posts with embedded data and images.
Those of you that have guest author privileges – you know what to do.
– Anthony
UPDATE: Apologies – the Submit Story feature got hidden yesterday by an errant goof by one of our moderators who marked the page as “private” – fixed now – Anthony

Here’s a clearer (on stage) Rogers performance of Barrett’s Privateers:
I’ve come up with a powerful and aggressive visual image that would do nicely as a tattoo for us scorcher-scam scoffers: a pair of upraised, shackled hands decisively snapping a hockey stick (with its blade upturned at the right). It is based on the well-known (to warmists) logo of the War Resisters League, in which the hands are snapping a rifle. A large, easily readable caption around the perimeter of the button reads, “Gore Resisters’ League.”
Following an earlier version of my suggestion (which had a weaker slogan, a too-small typeface, and lacked the chain), a kindly blogger named S. Weasel created an image that came close to my vision, here (then hit page-down twice): http://sweasel.com/archives/6403
I hope he’ll create an upgraded version—then I could take it to a tattoo artist and “get it on.”

DirkH, you obviously understand the proof. What you learn from this discussion is how incompetent and arrogant people really are, confusedly bashing something they do not understand, but which intelligent rational people find quite obvious. This is the reason I seldom believe what people claim anymore, unless they have proven their veracity.

Your condition is probably projection. Your “proof” proves it.

The problem is that one cannot register for Tinypic anymore. Without a registered account, what you upload becomes anonymous web content of unknown ownership, with the original author having no control, unable to even delete. Who knows who could end up using it, with the author unable to assert copyright. Heck, I got a few old pics on Tinypic I wish I could get rid of but can’t. Try to register on Tinypic, you get thrown to the registration form for Photobucket.
Tinypic was acquired by Photobucket, see this from Sept 1, 2010. The plan was to transition users from Tinypic to Photobucket. Read this from September 24. The transition failed, many Tinypic users were upset that the links to their uploaded content stopped working. Notice was given on the Tinypic site, which users loudly complained was inadequate. So they restored the links. For now.
It’s hard to believe they weren’t aware that many Tinypic links are used in blog comment postings and the like, where the original poster doesn’t have the ability to update the links. The plan was to shut down Tinypic, they may try to do so again, providing what they will then think is adequate notice, although since Tinypic is a free service there are no “customers” with financial grounds on which to complain if they shut down Tinypic tomorrow.
For added irritation, I do have a Photobucket account, using the same email address as I used for my previous Tinypic uploads. But Tinypic remains too anonymous, I can’t access my Tinypic uploads from the Photobucket account. After hours of searching the Help sections, the sites, the web… It looks impossible to “reclaim” Tinypic uploads, at all.
Thus Tinypic should not be recommended.
