You're first runner-up, so if we don't hear back from Camille, it's yours. Well, we’re still waiting to hear from Camille with some contact info that would make this actually possible, Poulette.

BUT not as originally entered, only following an edit to re-enter the same code that the preview 'said' would result in a cedilla. I do realize that this is not the point at all, and the fact that the preview does not always reflect the end result defeats the point of having a preview in the first place. Damn it.

The same day you post this, I get contacted asking for permission to use three of my photos I took at the U.N. last October in <a href="http://www.nowpublic.com/revamped_un_human_rights_council_condemns_israel_acquits_cuba" rel="nofollow">an online news story</a>. Granted, it's not quite the same, since it seems to be a collaborative news site that uses a lot of photos from Flickr, but still...freaky. Not as <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/isogloss/551475931/" rel="nofollow">cool</a> as you, but then who is? That’s so weird!
