Ben, thank you for your very thoughtful and well written post. I talked to my boss and as it turns out that was a glitch in our system. We had done an upgrade to our content management system a little while ago and whereas the system was supposed to give our affiliates 12 images, it was giving them the whole gallery. We were not even aware of this until, ironically, today. When I went to ask my boss about your message here, he was in the process of working on it and it's fixed now.
If you ever have a concern about our company or the way we run something I would encourage any of you to contact me directly. I'm always happy to help when I can. :)
