  *ahh* ok, food for thought!  - i must have got
  the wrong hold of the wrong end of the stick
  somewhere along the line!

  I had thought that letting people know it is an
  image and then going onto explain what it is an
  image of, was a good thing.  I hope you don't
  think that I'm just doing alt="[IMG]" but in
  fact I'm doing alt="[IMG] this is the logo for
  this site" - -> that
  kind of thing....
