Just to show that there are absolutely no hard feelings and that no one should feel badly, I've taken it upon myself to restore LoveAtFirstBITE's original post (but with the photo replaced with its link ). And, Connie, I've moved the post you had replaced it with to its proper place in the timeline of this topic.

Now everyone should be able to check out the link to the Selby photo, no matter when they might come across it. And with the forum reopening to guest traffic shortly, who knows how many people that might turn out to be?

Instincts (as poor as they may be) tell me not to make this into anything more than it is (after all, this IS Annie's birthday thread) (Hi Annie...), but I just wanted to clarify.

I removed the link for a reason.  I didn't want my capture of David Selby even remotely associated with any discussion of pornography, explicit photos of DS actors, (didn't know there WERE any - lol), or turned into some sort of permanent "salacious" link.  A sweet picture should not be turned into a cheap sideshow.   There are absolutely no "hard feelings" and no one's feeling badly (at least around here, lol).

PS  Hey Annie -- so sorry I mixed up my photos of David with some photos I took of Ringo heading for the bath!

A sweet picture should not be turned into a cheap sideshow.

That was certainly the farthest thing from our intent, and I seriously doubt that the Selby photo would be viewed that way in the future. That's one of the reasons I made a point of saying that the reasoning behind using a link, rather than having the photo display directly, really had little to do with your photo. Sadly, though, even an innocent act can often have unexpected consequences should someone misinterpret its significance. And unfortunately there are people in cyberspace just waiting to take advantage of the least little opening they see - particularly when they feel they can spin a case based on some circumstance that came before them (similar situations have happened more often that I can count already). However, remove the possibility for misinterpretation, remove the possibility for an unfortunate outcome somewhere down the line. That's quite honestly all there was to it. Nothing more, nothing less.
