To: Kathy in Alaska; beachn4fun
I don't think I'm going to be able to help at the circus on saturday.
I got into some really big trouble just now.
I told my dad that I posted pictures on the canteen, and he asked how so I told him what Beach told me.
And he got really really mad. I'm lucky he didn't revoke my internet priveleges.
He said that posting pictures beach's way, is stealing because you are claiming the picture as your own, while letting someone else foot the bill.
So he decided that as punishment, he is going to:
a. give me my own website
b. I will have 10 minutes at which I am banned from the interent. But he can choose when they are, and he can break them up into chunks.
He says that a is punishment, because it will teach me how hard it is to maintain a webpage. And he says that I have to figure everything out on my own. So I will work on figuring everything out, but I don't know if I'll figure it out before saturday.
I will try.
And I think he's not mad any more, or if he is, then he's let off some steam. Which is good.

Minor, I disagree with your dad. When I post a graphic it has a link that takes a person to the originals source. No where do I claim or put my name to the picture. He would be correct if I changed the URL on the picture and put my URL in it's place. And, then only if the picture is copyrighted. I know you can't argue with your dad, but you may want to try to explain to him why it is not stealing and there is no bill. You can ask others at the Canteen if you want.
