[I tried to send this to you by e-mail only Colin, but I kept getting
a 'you can not send to that mailbox' error, so it'll have to be here
instead...I was sending to 'cfbd@southern.co.nz']

Hang on Colin. While I don't want to knock the sentiment of this post,
I did not create a pic of the flag at half mast. I did create the
flag itself, but by putting my signature on the above pic, in the
context of a tribute to Diana, you are in effect putting words into
my mouth. I never posted or intended to post a tribute to her.

I can see that you wanted to post the Diana stuff with the proper
credits for the pics used and had you asked if you could use the
flag like this I would not have objected. In most cases I don't
mind anything I've done being used in other pics, but in this post
it looks like you've compiled a collection of tributes others have
posted to the ng (which some have done), especially with a thread
named like other collections that you've compiled.

I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment, I'm just pointing out that
in this case it looks like I'm saying something that I never said.

Regards,
Al.
