# Ah Metro beat The Mail to it.
Personally I don't think this is a thread waste although it could have been popped on top of an existing thread.
EDIT: Alhough I think that Metro is owned my the Mail.

EDIT EDIT: But on second look everyone is credited, it would have nice for them to ask though.

It's not like Nuts Magazine that take it directly for profit and they did credit the people.
I can appreciate that if they had waited for replies for permission that page would have been posted in the new year when it was no longer relevant.

but it can be argued that it's a non commercial site, even if it does make profit from advertising.

If they had used one of mine I would have been OK with the profile link and the b3ta link.

They've credited everyone as far as I can see and even been nice enough to provide links back to the threads they came from.

I think it's a good idea to have told people here, as here's where they obviously frequent. Having said that, they haven't nicked, more....borrowed with namechecks. I hope they asked though.
