Did the spammer get to him? :p

I think it's an outpouring of frustration that he's been stitched up by someone who did some site work for him.

Yes it is Arantor.
I hope he has authority to use the image, otherwise he is going to have to get his cheque book out.
15:48 and still no word from him, got until the 30th before Getty 'send the boys round'.
There - its off my chest now, patience is a virtue.
Hope this clears up any confusion within my opening post.

May I suggest not using the pirate flag if you don't support piracy?  :whistle:

I tease. That sucks and I hope you get your money back!

@ Eros,
That flag has done some mileage mate. 4 weeks on the Red Sea in fairly rough weather. It has earned its avatar status.

Thanks for the wishes
