Dumb-ass hotlinking an image on my site...

	http://www.myspace.com/tomahawk33

And I've figured out what I believe to be his IP address from my logs, so
when *he* looks at the page, he just sees the original (expected) graphic.

Ought to take a while for him to figure this one out...

I didn't notice it at first, I was scrolling down, scrolling down,
trying to see which image wasn't "right" when all of a sudden the
background glared out at me. LOL.

I once used a jpeg image of 4095 by 4095 pixels :-D (IIRC that was the

There are generaly more than one server in a path, and any or some or all
of them may not be honoring supercedes, just as most don't honor cancels
any more due to abuse.

Shame you can't do the same to the music; replace the gold chain rambling

IIRC, supersedes work entirely through the addition of a "Supersedes" line 
to the message headers. Even if a server does not honour supersedes, the 
header will normally be passed along intact, so other servers further down 
the path can still honour it.

And, those other servers further down the line are, as I mentioned,
probably not honoring the supercedes.  Including something that nobody's
listening to doesn't generate a lot of activity.
