Bandwith leeching.. anyone speak German?

Someone at this site is leeching off an image Matt posted on his blog entry of Golden Boy:
http://www.die-neurotics.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2566
The problem is that he is using it as a forum avatar, and is wreaking havoc on my bandwith limitations.
However, not being able to speak German, I can't write to this person and ask him politely to put the image on his own server. I can translate it with AltaVista, but there's no contact information for the guy (at least that I could figure out), and I can't post in the forum.
Cindy, does Nate speak it well enough that he could help me out? :-)
Now I realize that I could just change my image. I've got a great story of such shenanigans, I am just waiting to see if someone can scrape up the last image that was changed. It's just classic, and I can promise that the person will NEVER leech again.
However, I'm sure the user has no idea about images, and web servers, and bandwith, so I'd just like to be friendly and ask them to remove our link.
Anyone?
