Well at first glance ... I know none ... I did suggest a picture question, particularly in the eg Art topic or such as who is this, where is this, what is the significance of this ... ... ... but it didn't get picked up

Hi @Anonymous

Sorry if you think you don`t know the answers this time but I hope you will still have a guess - at some of the questions.

As to your suggestion of a picture question, it would be difficult for me to post an image without a "footprint" giving away what it is. That said, I am not ruling out a picture question at some point in the future.
