Dear Bob and friends,
I refuse to discuss this matter I can't follow you.
I use to make high quality images for my own pleasure and I like to share them,
also I give permission to use my images to all that asked, many persons in
Conch-L know that very well, if I made them only for profit I will made in lower
quality and in more quantity for commercial reason.
The rules of this listserver also don't allow to attack to the other members, is
not your responsibility to keep the rules of Conch-L.
Take a look to the following images, can be used as wallpaper.

Also the following wallpaper with October calendar:

Best regards.
George
