IIRC, there was a scene in one of the many 'Batman' movies where this adage was rather more graphically illustrated . . .

IMHO, the NGDF should institute an annual "Hijacker of the Year" award. I hereby nominate Willie (aka Sir Wm. Claude Johnson-Barr) and Doug van Veelen (dougvv) for consideration - the winner to be penned up and the loser written off, neither to have access to the NGDF - or PhotoShop®™ - for a period of one year.
