I disabled the association feature in my profile a long time ago. Prior to this new wording of the same feature (formerly Import to Database), when someone tried to import a photo of mine to the DB, a message came up: "This image is ineligible...." I was always miffed, as this sets an ambiguous implication that the decision was not mine, and that I am being punished for something. But, I was just happy that Dave allowed me to opt out at all, so I didn't complain.
Now the new wording clearly states that the determination is my own. Thank you Dave!
