Pardon the interupt, but I am working on the Links page for HHH, and I have
discovered that somehow I have lost your UOL Link for the UCAS Online project
you had. Could you give me a URL that I could drag that image from, instead
of actually sending me the image itself? I am really discovering that if
someone has a link source, it's definitely saving me tons of space.

Well, you can get the graphic from
http://www.geocities.com/~jestyr/sr/uollink.gif - I can't say as how I
exactly like bandwidth theft, but it's not my server so I can't complain.

Do bear in mind that image-linking is severely frowned upon by many parts
of the webmaster community, and that you leave yourself open to large
problems when the image's owner deletes it, or their server did what Xoom
did (all graphics at Xoom member sites show up as Xoom ad logos when
referenced by pages that don't reside on Xoom's servers).

Thank you very much for this one.

THAT would explain a great deal.
