Just all those that piss and moan..it's like are you that ungrateful for them being shared at all? I'd say 90% of those that DO share have had their pics taken from them and re-sold. Although I get what HNY says about not having the right from the get go...we (I think I speak for the general masses) DO enjoy taking pics and DO enjoy sharing them, but then seeing them sold on Ebay is a real pisser! When I have shared on the board (which I seldom do cause of abuse that's sure to follow and having to ask "lookers" PLEASE DO NOT TAKE TO SELL...I mean are we all 5 here? Should we have to put that disclaimer up?) I put the watermark on the bottom or side...not across. But that's my choice, and each person that takes a pic gets to make the choice to share, to watermark or not to watermark. I just emailed a girl @ 7W asking if I could right click her pics to print. She'd be none the wiser had I just done it, but I thought it nicer to ask. That's me. No better than anyone else, just thought the taker would appreciate someone asking first.
So take it or leave it....and those that jab others about putting watermarks on pics, leave em be or don't enjoy what's been shared. Those of you personally that opt NOT to add watermarks makes no matter. You've shared w/ the group, and I personally appreciate anyone that shares anything.

Amen sister!! I appreciate anything that anyone shares--watermarks or not. This is exactly why I didn't bother posting my current Detroit photos over here...... last time I posted photos (Gold Dust tour & Don tour) I got the snide remarks about how someone apparently thought my watermark was too big..... with a
to go along with it... I didn't have to share but I did--and this time I didn't because it isn't worth the bother anymore just to get unappreciated remarks... I didn't HAVE to share but I did--I like taking photos and think it is fun--I don't like seeing people steal other peoples photos and sell them on ebay--sorry I just don't think that is cool. I know not everyone agrees with me and that is fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion......
I did post my Detroit photos on that "other" board if anyone is interested--and yes they have watermarks--so if you don't want to see them with the watermarks then please don't look!
