I can't remember if Robert actually designed the patch. In fact, it may have been a group effort. Everyone just considers it Robert's property because he did so much creating this site and continues to this day to pay for the bandwidth which can't be insignificant. Makes it really hard to b!tch about photopost being down or pages on the main homepage being broken. He just won't charge any money or use a little advertising (anymore).
I've thought about producing a batch of patches, but I can't imagine finding a significantly better price than that and I can't spare the cash either. If I was going to do it I'd charge cost per patch plus shipping and handling plus a buck or two to send to Robert to help pay for the site. I have 2 or 3 patches but it's been so long I don't remember what I paid for them. I think it was close to $5 each.
