It is not for you or anyone else to tell the administrator of site which propagates alt whether or not they may continue to propagate alt (other than the site management or owners, of course.) Unless of course you propose that drastic action be taken against sites carrying alt. I suspect that this would be ineffective and possibly backfire in a rather serious fashion. >I ask the administrators of the sites whose users have posted the "serious >dilemma" and associated articles to examine the evidence, closely question >the actions of those users, and perhaps report back their findings to the >net.
