and no, those aren't JPEG compression artifacts, but rather the result of really subtle layering of color, noise, stripes, transparency, and a gradient :)
*doh* and there I was, thinking I was smart — installed Skitch on another Mac to take this shot, and forgot that its default drag-and-drop file format is JPG.
So, um, what I said before? Yeah, they're JPG artifacts :/

So I think posting a JPG should be considered a technical foul — need a ruling from the refs on this though.

No technical foul. JPG artifacts add 'character' :)
