Well, let me make that suggestion then. I would like to remove all
pictures for which:
1. no author or source is known, and
2. there is no good reason to believe they are public domain

yet (I sent it from another email address, and it is waiting moderator
approval because it is from a non-subscribed address), I think that
this might include as many as 20% of our current images.
