PSA Hijack - Photobucket finally relented and gave back all the photos. (Unless you had deleted or moved them elsewhere.) I dont think there is any more free accounts, but the price is a lot more reasonable and allows third party linking now.

Very cool. People still do that today. They will look at original photos and try to find the EXACT spot on a battlefield where it was originally taken. I think they have found every spot in Gettysburg of the famous photos from the battle. They even looked at the big rocks, etc.. in the originals and found them on the battlefield that lined up perfectly and had the exact same features. A man named William Frassanito has written several books on the subject.

Charles A. Ambroseccia, or CAA-CAA as he was referred to. The thing that has always puzzled me is he was an extremely prolific poster and bullshit artist, but never transitioned to any of the follow-on boards. At least not that I ever saw.
