And, if I may, in response to G A Russell, I truly feel that posting that photo was in incredibly bad taste, pretty sick, and disgusting to use it in what seemed to me to be a faint attempt at humour, and totally unneccessary to the discussion.
I also object to the fact that I was "hooked" in to viewing it, because I thought, from the way the post was worded, it was going to be an amusing image. I would not have even looked at it if I knew it was as it was.

I haven't been on the Forum long, but I think most will know I'm no prude, and narrow-minded I ain't, but I was sickened by this action.
I'm also not a great supporter of censorship, having experienced it personally (not here) , but if, for example, posts about DRM aren't allowed for legal reasons, I would have been happy for the Moderators to sling out such a for any reason they liked, frankly, but total lack of judgement by the poster would have done me.

I'm with RainingLemur, kjd, and I'm sure many other Forumites.
