Whilst I commend anyone who desires to uphold standards of
appropriateness etc. on this forum, and as it happens I'm not
personally crazy about the work posted in Sylvia's email, I do
however feel that Tom's response was more a statement of personal
taste than purely the principle of what is suitable to post.
I agree that it is inappropriate to post bulk mails from other email
networks as we can't choose to unsubscribe from it.
However, this is an open drawing forum, and as subscribers to it we
have to accept that some of the art content that is posted will not
be to our individual taste.
Perhaps I might suggest though that members refrain from including
images in their postings, but insert a link to a webpage instead.
That way the rest of us can opt to visit the webpage, or not,
according to personal preference.
all the best
Damian Fennell.
