without peeking to see what he had already discovered, I had a personal revelation a few days ago that went something like this, "What the heck am I doing spending countless hours trying to find the next obscure clip when I can just go to Andre's site and see what he's found - grab it - and then make much better use of my own search time in other areas." I'm sure that I have spent hundred's of hours looking for items that I could have brought back to CSR within minutes just by looking at SPK comics. Anyway time for me to let go of pride and relish the fact that I have made dozens and dozens of discoveries that are indeed unique. In procuring items from Andre I am well aware of several truths 1) None of us spank whisperers hold the copyright to any of the items we dig up from original source material. 2) I consider it important to be generous in giving credit where credit is due when it comes to acknowledging who scanned what and if they did so independently of any one else's efforts. 3) Andre is a generalist when it comes to spanking images he will feature any and all regardless of age and gender of the participants therefore a large amount of his collection is of no interest to me. He does not put his finds into historical or cultural context - not his thing - that only happens here and at Mainstream Spanking 4) In the end, I found many items that we both discovered independent of each other, about ten items that I didn't have in my own collection and realized that he didn't have a large number of clippings that are in the process of being shared at CSR from my research. 5) Every time I use one of Andre's clips I will certainly give him credit just as the Web-Ed always does. Even if I replace his clips with what I deem to be better ones of my own I will still give him credit. The following clip from an advertisement comes from ANDRE's large collection. By the way Andre generously shared with me a list of his numerous [about a dozen compared to my two and Google 
] archiving sources complete with links so I gather he is all for sharing tools in the name of making good spanking images public.Royal Baking Powder Advertisement 1944 original scan by Andre.
