I thought that my avatar photo and others were safe from being slurped up into the Picasa cloud.
Unfortunately, if you post pictures for your avatar to this site, they are immediately consigned to Picasa.
So, as much as I despise having to do it, I am going to post Martin family-related photos to Picasa, so I can include them in commentaries at this blog.
Frankly, I resent big websites trying to force ordinary folks who don't want their photos to be made available to the universe, to put those pictures in galleries from which they could be filched -- then republished without proper credit. (It is okay for family members to download the pictures, of course!)
That's my rant for today.
