Steve,

I'm glad to hear that you are the instructor and no copyright infringment is happening. I have two degrees from UCLA an am a bit protective.

Yes, I did find your postings to be interesting, however, my position here at Disney Online does not require me to overs e the image collections anymore so I really don't have practical use.

Thanks for sharing,
