I respectfully denied the request, but said that I would update this post with his request and notify our readers that he has rectified the problem and removed the Ubertor logo and images from his companies backend.  Thank you Varinder, I appreciate the phone call and the correction of the problem. <\/p>\n<p>In his words:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hello Blog,<br \/>\nI don\u2019t mind you writing on the blog anything that you want, but please remove the images that you have posted of our backend as those are copyrighted and our backend is to.
