And once again a discussion which started out with actual meaning has degenerated into a urinating1 contest about whose ability to argue about the obscure meanings of a phrase is best.
I'll just bring out my fire-hose and state that if your image isn't very obviously public domain and hosted where hotlinking is allowed, and you don't explain why it's ok to link to it from there, then the image will get replaced by a link the moment we're made aware of it, and that we want to be made aware of it, which is one of the uses of the little triangle thingie.
1) replace with most likely to be starred common use impolite word to get the meaning.
