Definition of spam:
In the case of electronic mail, spam is any electronic mail message that
is:
1. Transmitted to a large number of recipients; and
2. Some or all of those recipients have not explicitly and knowingly
requested those messages.

It does not matter what the content of the message is. It can be an
advertisement for a commercial product, a solicitation for donations by
a charity, or a religious pitch by somebody intent on saving your soul.
If it meets the two criteria above, it IS spam.

This is not flaming. This is simply listees following the guidelines of
the HWG list and trying to educate others on the rules and regulations
of the list.

>Isn't it possible that someone GENUINELY thought this might be
something
>others would be interested in????

Possibly, but just one question, what in the world does this have to do
with *graphics*? "Others" may be interested in something like this,
possibly on an*other* list.

>Some of you are so narrow minded you cannot see beyond the end of your
>noses!!

Some might be well informed of what the guidelines of the HWG list are.

>How sad....I truly feel sorry for y'all, looking at every thing with
such

I don't think this is looked upon with "suspicion" as much as it is
frowned upon receiving spam to such a list, that serves to thousands.

While some may intend to do good, this is hardly the place nor list to
send such a topic.
