Absolutely.

Next time you get one of these messages, post the address to the
list(along with the subject line so he can't weed 'em out by
subject), and we'll all send him pictures of our cars, as per his
request!

Oh gee, how about that, we already have one address:

davecoleyprocurements at mail.com

Tip: don't make the image too large, no more than a few hundred KB so
it won't get bounced by size; more messages will also make it more of
a pain for someone with webmail.  Lastly, don't feel any obligation
to send your best car pic, since the little bastards will probably
turn around and make a calendar or something.  A picture of, say,
your wastegate frequency valve will do fine.
