Smokey, this is not at all a confusing topic for me. I really don't understand why you feel it necessary to talk down to me.
Where did I say or imply that I didn't want Google crawling and indexing my pages? You are making an absurd assumption or you aren't quite comprehending my posts.
What I don't want is for surfers to go to Google, type in "mydomainname" (as a compound word, obviously searching for my site) and get YOUR page with it's one BURIED link back. I, and any other reasonable non-cheating webmaster, would perceive that as traffic theft. If a friend links to my site, or mentions my site on theirs, that's fine. But if someone deliberately uses my site's name in order to gain traffic for themselves while creating a potential loss for me, that, I take as a hostile move against my interests.
So I'm left to assume, since you don't care to address the point directly, that your script and the template you created is at fault for directly hotlinking the image from my site, as seen in G's cache of his page. This entire thread is based upon the hotlinking of a single image - which I have since deleted. You can keep taking this thread away from that point, but all it does draw more attention to the fact that Vegas of MadMoolah hotlinked one of my images, most likely due to your less than honest script.
By the way, we are most definately not on the same team. I pride myself in being an honest, hard working webmaster.
