I am not at all pissed off at your views 
on "image theft".  Though, I do have similar 
ideals as Drac.  I think this is totally an 
issue about respecting the values of other 
collectors.  We're all not going to agree one 
way or the other on this, so the best thing to 
do is to simply take that extra step and make 
sure the owner of whatever image knows you want 
to make a fancel, and that you get their OK to 
do so.  I would be flattered if someone asked me 
this, mostly because I don't collect from very 
popular series--but they still mean a LOT to 
me...  Most of all I would be very grateful for 
that bit of courtesy in asking me before 
whatever image of mine is made into a fancel.  
Granted, I'd probably decline...but the point is 
that you ask permission first.  

Now, this must have been weighing heavily on you 
to be pondering such things while driving long 
commutes...  Then again, maybe you weren't 
playing the radio as loud as I normally do.  lol
