I thought it was going to be locked? I got a pm from the cheif saying that the new U-Moderate system was working well with this topic. I guess too many feathers are ruffeled. Anyway,

second example; when Sven came out with the BOT I asked him if I could use some of the images to recreate in "my style" . He said thank you for asking and yes.

Again. I'm NOT saying this to just ONE PERSON so DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY. Unless you have something to hide like BenzArt said. Well, I guess I am saying it to one person. But, not recently (Tahiti Jim- not you!!! Stay around!!!)

To make a long story short before this topic gets locked, "I was acused of stealing." I was acused of stealing (by another person on this board) designs from the BOT, SHAG styles and OA stuff. What that acuser forgot was that my Grandfather Eli Hedley pretty much wrote the book or, was THE major player in this whole poly pop gig, Pre OA. I'm sitting on a huge portfolio of his that has images, articles, sketches, etc. of stuff that was done in the 40's the 70's. "Don't tell me that I stole ideas and images!" At least I have the "respect" to ask permission.

Go ahead and lock it, edit it, what ever. I just needed to get this off my chest. Mahalo!
