   Yeah; I am sure a lot of people try all sorts of crap so this is small   
   in comparison.  I know sometimes people want a certain area or   
   inscription or ask for photos (one guy sent me a letter by email of   
   what he'd done and it said in there "Please send me an 8x10 color   
   photo of you or your character and put...." To me, that's stepping   
   over the line but again, like you said in the previous post, everyone   
   has their own opinions and the fact is you just never know.
