Hi! :-)

Can anyone here read the 'signature' on this image?

http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/internal/webmaster2.jpg+

On this ancient laptop it's too blurred for me to read.

TIA for any suggestions.

it's not blurred at all. the 404 is clear as can be.

removing the + from the url shows a thumbnail.

Gosh - you are right!

Wow! That's clever. Can you read the 'signature' on the image?

Don't get snarky when you want help.

Be aware that the image you link to is a thumbnail of 4.73 Kb,
nothing in other words. About as crap an image as one could get.

It doesn't contain any further information, enlarge it and all you get
is pixels.

For what it's wiorth, my guess is something like "Charles Stanley",
but that really is a stretch.

What you want is the actual picture the thumbnail is linked to.

I understand what you say. I'm afraid I cannot obtain a better image.

I had hoped that the experts in this group might have better facilities
to determine the Watermark.

I'm guessing the same as you, but it would be nice to have it confirmed.

No worries, Sometimes things don't come over the way we mean them.

We probably do, but the thing is, in order to be able to see
something, it has to be there in the first place. I've dowbloaded the
picture and run it through Photoshop, etc, but it gets no better.

Consider that the average digital image from a normal website (eg, the
Life Magazine archives) will be somewhere between 100 Kb to 450 Kb or
so in size.

This thumbnail is not 459 Kb, nor 250 Kb, nor 100 Kb..... but 4. 4
Kb. As small as it can get.

With that thumbnali image, we can't see any more because there's
nothing there, The image is so small and so degraded that try as one
might, there's nothing there to work with.

Are you not able to go onto the site itself?

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to do so.

Well, you _can_ see the image in the bottom right hand corner of THIS page:-

Hi! :-)


Hello, Stalker.

Can anyone here read the 'signature' on this image?

http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/internal/webmaster2.jpg+


Yes, *I* can read it because I have the original full-size printed
photograph right here in front of me, because I own the photo.

On this ancient laptop it's too blurred for me to read.


Be it known that it is intentional that you cannot read it. Because you
are a Stalker.

TIA for any suggestions.


My suggestion would be that YOU stop stalking. Ask your r.p.d. friends
what they think of THIS image:

http://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php

r.p.d. subscribers: David Brooks has been stalking me for a long time.
He's been stalking dozens of people for more than a decade. Please act
accordingly. Trust nothing he says; give him NO personal information, else
you will find it posted elsewhere.

Close but no cigar... :-)

...which I have in my possession, because I own it, the original full-size
printed photograph. David Brooks, Stalker, will never get to see it.

Do tell the folk here about the hidden code I found on your web site,
BTS. I took a screenshot, just in case you lie again.

People here, unlike YOU, *do* trust Dropbox.
