To be perfectly clear For some time now, I have used an anchor tag with a title attribute containing photo credit on images I get from sources other than myself or MinMon staff. Roll your mouse cursor over the image to see the attribution. And as Paul says, if the Strib wants to send us a C+D, they can.

But keep up the good work making sure we're on the straight and narrow.

Nice Picture That's a solid photo of Giuliani JB.

It looks strikingly similar to the one on the front of the Trib's site.

Did you have the Trib's permission to use their picture without citing them as the source?

Is the Trib providing commentary and artwork for this site now?
