One thing I'm curious about is what would the general consensus be on someone who inlines an image on their page that comes from your webspace? I have a lot of pictures which I've taken myself, and lately I've discovered that they're showing up on other peoples pages, directly inlined from my own. Myself, I dislike this, as I end up having to pay the bandwidth for someone elses webpage.
I remembered something about this that had made it's way around the
net about the time the DS9 episode came out. It was a Q&A session
with Ron Moore, who was one of the writers. So I went through and
dug it out (I save way too much e-mails).
Here is some Ron Moore postings (A DS9 writer) from America On-Line:

Q: What is the (unspoken to outsiders) reason that Klingon physiology has
changed from TOS to DS9/TNG? Is it the oft-speculated "Tribble disease"
which led to the Klingon war against the Tribbles?
A: We do NOT have an explanation for this, even within the staff. All the
possibilities sound ridiculous and we've decided to simply leave it a
mystery that only Klingon hairdressers and makeup artists know.

Q: Really enjoyed the Tribble show, but was a little dissapointed in the
Klingon appearance question--Worf acted rather embarassed by the change in
appearance between then and now when asked about it. Will we ever get an
explanation on how/why the klingons changed their appearance, or will be
be kept forever in the dark?
A: To me, you got the perfect explanation. It's a joke and it's a comment on
the fact that there is no explanation because IT'S JUST A MAKEUP CHANGE.
Any technobabble we came up with would be incredibly lame and
unbelievable. "We do not discuss it with outsiders." You tell'em Worf.
