Thanks for clarifying that, Luke.
That in fact seems like the best way to handle the "thumbnail TGP" hotlinking requirement. Just adding additional domains to the original .htaccess file sounds good, but I've found that getting listed at certain TGPs often results in getting listed in as many as a dozen more, and it's usually impossible to know how far and to what domains a given submission may eventually be linked. So just creating a special subdirectory with its own .htaccess exception rule for the one or two hotlinkable thumbs in a gallery is probably the best way to go.
