Original graphics are digitally watermarked with copyright information. (If you like my graphics, allow me to say that I am, among other things, a professional web designer and would be more than happy to make a set for you of your very own, and not only am I affordable, I've been known to give my time and talents freely as a form of tithe. As for what's online here and now, please look but don't steal.)

If you would like to reprint some or all of one of my essays or other writing, please contact me and we can discuss it. I'm generally fairly flexible, but only when asked first and when proper credit is given (and generally a link back). Many of my works have been circulated and/or republished with my consent, but my direct permission is required. To do so without my consent is a violation of international copyright laws.

Please visit What is Copyright Protection? if you're even the least bit interested in or confused by copyright law and the world wide web. It's a great site, easy to read, easy to understand. If this cause is important to you (and if you publish anything on the web, it should be), please support the site as best you can.
