Well, we didn't give Greg permission to use the photo.  I noticed that it 
was a photo from the contest (or at least a tank from the contest) but 
assumed Greg had the photographer's permission to use the photo.  Shame on 
Greg... He should know better.

I think we should talk to Greg and ask him to make it right.  He needs to 
appologize, and either get permission directly, or or change the graphics he 
is using.

The guy in Bulgaria has a right to be ticked off... I would be.  But OTOH, 
the AGA did nothing wrong.
