in august of 2000 i received this letter from Dr Diane Nelson, distinguished professor of biology at the University of Tennessee:

Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 12:35:09 -0500 From: Diane Nelson To: vvichit@reed.edu Cc: Postmaster@reed.edu, N Marley Subject: tardigrades Are you the person who has the web site on tardigrades? I must inform you that you have been using my SEM photographs of tardigrades illegally. They are copyrighted and you do not have permission to use them. Please remove them from your web site immediately.


So that's why I took the pictures away. Guess you're just going to have to buy Mr Kinchin's book to enjoy looking at pictures of the critters...
