We also thought he was complaining about us using it. Below is his reply to our email saying we would take the post down if he wished..... "You obviously missed the irony in my comment! I should have added a 'smiley' icon. Of course I don't want you to remove it and of course I'm not offended. If you want to take the blame for it as its apparent creator, well that's fine too, because if my clients find out it was me I'll never work again! I'm happy to remain anonymous as the author, but my alter-ego is now known as Ranting Robotog." We are happy to keep the post with his movie up on The37thFrame with his permission. EDITORS NOTE:

You probably did agree to syndication through embedding when you signed up for xtranormal.com and posted the video there. If you click on the logo, it takes you to your page, but it certainly isn't visually obvious, is it? Isn’t it just an embedded video from a video sharing site?
