    I agree this person was discourteous. He/she has probably been lurking and
    gathering our e-mail addresses. I don't think they can be gathered of the
    Getty site, unless they were grabbed from our backup listserve at onelist.
    The e-mail was large and tied up my phone line for 5 - 10 minutes. (I'm in
    West Texas with old phone lines no DSL yet) It came through as HTML e-mail
    for me. I think that it depends on your e-mail program how it was received
    as HTML e-mail or a web page attachment. Either way it was SPAM and for that
    reason alone I will not visit the web site. I immediately added the address
    to my junk mail filter.

            It would have been most courteous for the person, if he was posting
    to our list, as it seems he has, to have introduced himself and explained
    his intentions. How did he get our addresses anyway--without going through
    joining the list?! No, we are not paranoid. Just following our instincts.

    |Y'all ARE paranoid. There's nothing strange about it at all. It's just a
    |web site full of art work. Just click on the URL on the page...it will
    take
    |you to the web site...there's NO downloading to it. You don't have to
    click
    |on the attachment...the attachment is just a copy of the same thing.
