Hi,I'mtakingallthe.jpgsout;feelthatthebestwayformeto
contributeisthroughtextonly.
Ifeeloddthatsomeimagesareacceptable,somearen't.Again,they
weren't"porno"butheavilyreworkedandredrawnforthatmatter.They
          
wentwiththetexts.
ButI'mnotouttooffendanyone;Ijustdon'twantimagesfilteredso
thatsome,forexample,maybeonthesite,andsomemaynot.Thatshould
beunderstandable.
Ontheotherhand,thetextsseemfine,andI'dliketokeepmy
contributionlargelyinthatform.
