So you just let them link to your images? My site has limited bandwidth, and
if people are linking to it they are using up MY bandwidth. If they want to
use an image on my site they are more than welcome to ask, then download it
to their own site. I do not want to feel like I have to leave images on my
site just because I know others are linking to it. I am not talking about
just having a link to a specific picture - that is different. I am talking
about where MY image actually shows up on their website via a link. That
bandwidth can become expensive on a popular site.
