I'm sorry if I've annoyed anyone.

I personally don't have any issues with you or anyone else doing this.

Ok I know my photos aren't the easiest to steal due to the watermarking but I guess that might be down to paranoia that I'm wary of people with no photos of their own. In addition to this, I also block Alician Reiley or something. He's from down south and has been known to steal photos, and recently had a court issue ordered placed against him for non bus reasons.

I've only had to call people twice over stolen photos, unfortunately the first instance where this happened caused some damage as it was the first photo of this bus following a repaint. In my experiences at least it happens so rarely that I personally don't feel the need to watermark my photos as it can take time uploading the photos to Flickr and no doubt watermarking them would only increase the upload times, I also don't do it for convenience reasons as if anyone ever wants to use one of my photos for something I can just pull the photo straight from my photostream to send it to them rather than having to dig the photo out from my external hard drive where I have to figure out what date the photograph was taken and find it in the relevant folder. I personally tend to find that watermarking can ruin photos especially if an incredibly bold font with solid text. One person to watch out for especially if you upload Rail photos is James Crook, seriously block him on everything!
