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.

Me thinks that some of the postings were from site administrators.
