Photo Stamps will no longer let you use photos of any adult,or person over the age of 12. Only children or pets. Sad,but true. Kinda creepy,if you ask me.Just a note to let you know.

Thanks, Sandra - Their press release at http://www.stamps.com/company/news/20040913/ describes their decision to stop accepting those images. Well, actually it tries to spin the ppolicy change as a positive thing, but in reality it's just an attempt at making a bad situation look like a good business decision, I guess. Too bad, but we do live in a world where a few jerks can screw things up for everyone.

From the press release:

"We are overwhelmed by the early success of PhotoStamps," said Stamps.com CEO Ken McBride. "Consumers have told us that PhotoStamps allow people to share memories -- from new parents sharing baby pictures to adoring pet owners sharing favorite images of their animals. We want to focus on what has been most successful to date and make appropriate changes to the product during our test phase."

McBride added, "We have limited the use of the product in certain categories in response to the abusive actions of a few people that went to great lengths to use the product in inappropriate ways. We want to preserve the essence of the product that tens of thousand of customers use in a fun, creative, and positive manner."

I was just wondering if you had any stamps with the dog as shown in the pic. I'd be interested in buying some.
