I wouldn't mind if you were _consistent_ about the way you treated
things, but you are not!

Ok, a couple of points... 

On my homepage it says quite clearly at the top that I made the images
there (except for some images that are part of some discussion between
me and somebody else) so there should be no doubt as to who made them
when they are taken out of context (i.e. copied from my homepage and
implanted somewhere else). I'm not crazy about adding initials to my
pictures. One reason is that I would forget to do that half of the time
and another is that they disturb the impression of the pictures. Instead
I add my name once and for all at the top of the page. Of course this
only lasts as long as the pictures are on that page. Giving credit is a
matter of politeness, and it is also a way to keep track of who made
what (especially since you happily mix your own work with that of
others... e.g. a certain portrait of a certain dead princess... my
version stuck in the middle of about four-six of "your" comuter
generated versions...).

This image is my SELF PORTRAIT and belongs among the other self
portraits, not in the naked women section:


    |||||
   ||. .||
  |||\=/|||
  |.-- --.|
  /(.) (.)\
  \ ) . ( /
  '(  v  )`
    \ | /
    ( | )
    '- -`

These other, similar images belong in the naked women page:

         @@@
        @. .@
        @\=/@
        .- -.
       /(.|.)\
       \ ).( /
       '( v )`
         \|/
         (|)
         '-`

         @@@@@
        @@. .@@
       @@@\=/@@@
       @.-- --.@
       /(.) (.)\
       \ ) . ( /
       '(  v  )`
         \ | /
         ( | )
         '- -`

(and what are my pictures of naked MEN doing in a page for pictures of
naked WOMEN? But what is worse is that most of the pictures on that page
are made for dark text on a light background and just look _weird_ on
your page with light text on a dark background...)

This aardvark is NOT made by "Kev" (who the hell is "Kev" anyway?):

        _.---._    /\\
     ./'       "--`\//
   ./             (@ \
  /./\  )______   \__ \
 ./  / /\ \   | \ \  \ \
    / /  \ \  | |\ \  \7
     "     "    "  "   Kev

It is made by me!

        _.---._    /\\
     ./'       "--`\//
   ./             (@ \
  /./\  )______   \__ \
 ./  / /\ \   | \ \  \ \
    / /  \ \  | |\ \  \7
     "     "    "  "     VK

Another self portrait got lost somewhere else in the more anonymous
parts of your collection:

         _____
       '       `
      |         |
     _|         |
   /' _\________|_____
  / '|| ``  `  _|
  || || `  `  <@ \
  | |||   (     .'
  ||||| `      _|

  |||| |     |
  || | |_____|

I made this one:

This is not just "a waterwheel", it is an ascii version of a famous
drawing, called "Waterfall", by M.C. Escher (but the ascii version is
all mine):

The MAD Magazine guy is called Alfred E. Neuman.

I'm not sure what Michael Naylor and Shimrod would like to see you call
their fantastic, mathematic, impossible, double-bottle "an hourglass"...
