I have the original slide right here on my desk. Would you like me to take a picture of the actual slide? A scan of the original slide? I can have someone meet you with the slide, but that would be a little ridiculous because all I need is proof of the original slide, and that is easy to do since I have the only full resolution copy as well as the actual slide.
While it always helps to plaster watermarks on all images, I do not do it on every image. So perhaps I should warn you that you are falling victim to one of the biggest myths on the internet.
"
If it does not have a copyright notice on it, it is not copyrighted - so I can use it freely."
This myth results from past law, and misunderstandings of past law being passed along. In virtually all cases, photo copyright is valid whether or not there is a copyright notice.
I got this information from a lawyer...where did you get your information?
I'll email St Chris and see if that is the stance he is going to take on this, because i can see you have made up your mind on the matter.

Hmmm...the only thing I can think of where I may be close to what you describe is a chat I had with a user, but that was merely entertainment because he was trying to save my soul and take it to heaven...and we were PMing each back and forth....but thanks, for the heads up, I will not be replying that person any longer...and I really won't be following Whispers around...I just popped my head for one day...ease up fellas!
What's ironic is that I am responding here to a mock user who is basically breaking rule number 17 more than me, giggle...but whatever!
