[Linux-aus] Invitations and Such

[David Lloyd]

So, I just sent this response to an invitation (the sender shall remain
anonymous):

 

*	"Why do you believe that posting a picture of a typically
attractive woman, with champagne, and a flamingo in the background might
attract me to this event?"

 

There are so many what-ifs, for example:

 

*	What if I suffer from ornithophobia?
*	Or gynophobia?
*	Or I'm in a programme whose name contains anonymous?

 

My actual question, though, would be:

 

*	Given the sender, an IT organisation of sorts (not Linux
Australia!), sent the e-mail, do they really expect such a picture to
attract more participants?
*	And if so, what does this say about it?

Nb. The e-mail isn't spam - I do expect the sender, from time to time,
to send me invitations and such to things that interest me [the thing
I'm invited to does interest me, so in that sense, it is on topic for
me].
