[thelist] Hiding images (no right click?)

[Bimal Shah]

It works in so far as the person who stole the image could
also mask the 'stolen...' bit.

I found this idea interesting enough to try and it works, see

for the result. Doesn't work in Version 4 and Opera. Of course, even if it
works the thief can still change the image, but it does help a bit.
