OK...so I was getting heavy-handed but Vladimir has been a thorn in the side for so darn long...and dragging heels over the righting of wrongs...
It's back-to -front as a conversation...but you'll get the gist of it.
Thankyou, Lars for your efforts so far...
Hi Paul,
I removed the link to PixOS from my site.
But I found https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=150208 in my
logfiles and want to ask whether there are other skins by him which aren't
ok.
I informed Vladimir about the removal too.
I think if you send a mail with such explanations to Fredrik Andersson
<fred@opera.com> he'll remove the skin.
Lars
