Just an aside about pages & links....

I can't get ANY images on the supposed Harley/cow pages John links to... even with my blocking software disabled.....and...

The page frogprince links to shows me no direct images, but when I 'view source' (Ctrl-U), I get hundreds of lines of code with tons of javascript included with links like this:

http://rlv.zcache.com/god_is_my_co_pilot_bumper_sticker-r964a53c8da4949eb9667ab2d9fb6cf93_v9wht_8byvr_324.jpg

embedded in the code... which allow me to C&P and actually view an image.

(I realize, frogprince, that YOU didn't create the situation.... I just now & then need to vent my frustration at pages which require you to not mess with ANY settings if you want to browse their pages.)

I simply do not understand why they can't make simple links and display relevant images without 14 layers of restrictions built in!
(hit ctrl-U and look at the bottom few hundred lines (in red on my PC) to get an idea of how hard they work to control how & when you can access the content.)
I suppose that somewhere in my settings, I have disabled one or more of their cookies, javascript ramblings or search parameters that allow them to identify and/or follow me.... but I'll be danged if I am gonna work to find out which ones. There are plenty of sites which do NOT do this.)

Ok... rant over.
