I notice they're all still there, despite my asking them to be removed no less than three times.

[...] I spent quite some time trying to figure out which photos were involved and then more time trying to figure out how to return them to your name and your account. That also was done.

-In other words just shifting my photos around, but keeping them on your server.

The proper course would have been to inform me that my linked photos were too large, or in some other way violated the rules or general etiquette. I could have altered and resized them all in minutes, with only a few mouse clicks.

I know of no way your photos can appear under any account but yours.

-Then just how did they get copied off my server and onto yours?

People, at your request, have freely offered their skill, expertise, and experience to provide what they feel are good ideas and safe designs, be it with forges, anvil repair, or railings.

-Yessir, and I appreciate that. But this tangent into the legalities wastes their time and mine. Everyone here plays with fire and yellow-hot steel either for a living or a hobby, and I build guns that are designed to shoot other people as my day job. I have a reasonable grasp of what's safe and legal, and if I don't, I can change it.

Here, however, I'm simply asking for design ideas. Not legal help, not safety instructions, I don't need anyone to tell me that black iron can still be hot (at least, not again, anyway. )

But now we have seventeen posts in this thread, and just three of them have actually been helpful.

Doc.
