I whole-heartedly agree. These surfers probably aren't even seeing our banners anyway because they have Norton blocking all advertising. I really don't mind if they don't see my images.

And George Bush will bring democracy to the Middle East.

That is flawed thinking on the sponsor's part. There are sooo many pics on Fusker and such a large variety, it offers much more content than many paysites (perhaps all). Type-in traffic from Fuskerers is as plentiful as exit link traffic, I'm sure. I'd fire my marketing & promotions person if he/she told me that I'd make money by allowing hotlinking without any real text & banner advertising to go along with it.
