Bandwidth Thieves
For the past day or two, a small item of graphics (30 x 100 pixels) was snatched from my site. To make things worse, it was HotLinked and appeared at the front page permanently. This means that my site was exploited for traffic. Webmasters would definitely be familiar with the nuisance. To cut this story short, below are the results of my intervention:

An explanation: The large PNG image with the yellow glow comes from my domain. The site shown is in no way related to schestowitz.com; it displays graphics it does not own by forming a link, placed at the right-hand-side bar. I simply changed the image, which some would say was a harsh move.
