Hiya all

Following the critisims of my other Site The Starting Grid I destroyed
that one and made a completely new GP2 page.  I did all the menu
graphics and HTML myself so no moaning this time.  All i borrowed was
the background and a few pics.  So come try out my GP2 page and see
what ya all think.  I thnk you will like it!!

"No moaning" is all you have to say by way of "explanation"?

How about a touch of politeness in apologising for ripping things off in
the past, an explanation that you didn't rip things off and it was just
a misunderstanding, or perhaps an acknowledgement to the people whose
effort you benefited from?

"No moaning" really just about sums it up.

Sorry I took such a long time to reply but I have been busy with my
GCSE results.  
Anyway yes I am sorry to the people who I did nick the pics of but I
only stole about 3.  The rest I made myself and the others I was given
to me by a m8.  What am I supposed to do if I am given the pics??
Shall I just throw them away.  Why are you only moaning at me then
when this sort of thing goes on all over the web!!  No one moaned
about my old page where all of the graphics were ripped off!!!  Anyway
I do apoplogize to all the people whos graphics I ripped of.
Yours sorry but pissed,
Andrew Roberts.

So if my m8 rips off your house and then gives me your TV and VCR it's
okay for me to have them if I know they were stolen from you?

You don't really sound remorseful about doing it. I saw your site before
and not only did you steal more than 3 pics you also stole the content.

Get a clue... you not only stole "graphics" but you stole all the
time and talent these folks devoted to making their sites so nice.

Grabbing a gif or two from a web site might be alright, but when you
do more than that and come out with your own site which you now claim
is better than the originals you ripped off, that is called stealing.

You already caused the UK Pits to shut down, maybe a real apology would
do you some good, not another fake sorry and no moaning site which no-one
is going to visit.

Cheers.
