I checked back and I found the first email I received on this which came from Rosina.  Here it is verbatim:

Saint James the Great
James was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was a son of Zebedee and 
Salome, and brother of John the Apostle. It is described that James was one of 
the first disciples to join Jesus.
His remains are said to be in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia (Spain). 
Saint James is the Patron Saint of Spain.
The traditional pilgrimage to the grave of the saint, known as the “Way of St. 
James,” has become the most popular pilgrimage for Western European Catholics 
from the early Middle Ages onwards.
The feast day of St James is celebrated on July 25 on the liturgical calendars 
of the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and certain Protestant churches.

What was the purpose of sending this message to everyone? It clearly refers to "Artist" and "Spiritual Art" as well as "Shameless Self-Promotion".Other than the "??????", how was the sender expressing shock?  Your "firm impression" seems totally misguided and frankly you are reaching for  a justification for the posting that escapes me.

Howard, 
 
It is my firm impression that there wasn't a single message that suggested that anyone liked it or thought it was art. It was more a matter of shock - or -  "what on earth is this supposed to be?"

Also, if anyone thought it was "Art", I sincerely question that person's judgment.  Is this the place to sell this kind of stuff?
