Great article, Sydney. Your writing skills are very impressive, and the creativeness you explore the subject is unique. I hope more Oddworld fans could do the same thing, excrutinizing specific bits of the Oddworld Universe.
Regarding the issue with Xavier, I'd like to say a few words.
Xav, I see that you expect some aknowledgements for finding high quality pictures of Oddworld, some of them very rare, indeed. But the reward should come expontaneously. Every time you find or post a new picture, you praise how good you are, and how special you are, and expect recognition for that. This kind of behavior can be somewhat annoying if repeated over an over again.
You see, your main goal should be to share your knowledge about Oddworld with the other fans around the world, and not trying to be recognized as an "insider" fan or special one. Look at Sydney, Abe Babe and more recently, Pilot. They are known by the Oddworld fan comunnity because of their deeds, not because of their words of advertisement.
If you know special sites, and don't reveal them, only for your own good, don't expect people to consider it a great side of your persona.
Anyway, keep posting those wonderful pictures. As long as you don't stop, I don't care from where they come.
