I could be going out on a limb here - I apologise sincerely if I'm mistaken - but given the similarities in profile (age, location, occupation, CCR used, erm... name and email address) looks like this could be none other than our very own medictom.

Well, if that's true (and it's always possible that someone else is using his info) I request that this board bitch-slap him a good one!

How about it, Stuart? If this is true, what happens if a member here steals someone else's photos and posts them somewhere else as his own?

There seems to be a few pics of some finnish divers also. The landscape looks more like Finland. The picture text is trying to say something else though...

Really disturbing...

and apparently they change from Finnish to Swedish too.

Yep and that is not normal

Still hoping there's a plausible explanation behind the copied images (even though it doesn't look good at this point) and especially that a Rebreather World member isn't the actual perpetrator. FWIW in looking at the FlickR account I recognized a few other images that appear to come from a member here - for example the 'cave training' ones. I believe they belong to 'Mempilot' ... here is one that is on the FlickR page:

Sorry for the circular link, but I didn't see how to post a direct link to a members photos ...

I guess he is not so good at photographing as stealing. That Meg inside a cave is the same pic for sure...

What is it about the Meg that attracts gay men to it ?

Ooops, wait a minute, I have one...

Uhmm, cheap Meg for sale...

Is yours the pink one that leaves a trail of detached sequins behind it?

Arrrgggghhhh....sorry about the spelling....it was 5:00 AM here!

I sent a direct e-mail to him through Flickr.....at the time I didn't know of the possible connection with Rebreather World, so I sent my contact through that route, not here. As a result, 3 of my 4 photos have been removed from his Flickr site, along with my comments about his thievery that I attached to each photo.

People on other boards have also specifically named this individual AND have recognized other people's photos amongst his Flickr presentation. This is a lot bigger than just my 4 photos.
