My mail program blocked the downloading of the image but I inadvertently triggered it. It is apparently the image of Mohammed currently generating the Islamic protests. What bothers me about this that motivates my deletion of the poster's membership is the possibility that the person posting it is actually a malicious hacker using the downloading of the image as the means for surreptitious access to our computers via a "Trojan" worm. Also, of course, it expresses a profound disrespect for the members of the list generally to post this without any attempt at an explanation of why it is pertinent to post it here.)
