\n the link to http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/alaska_2003main.php
\n gives the error: Not found.<\/p>\n

I think<\/em> that this is spam, but I’m not sure. It appears that the SEVEN twentyfour<\/a> site just trolls for 404s and then sends automated email based on the response. If someone remotely intelligent had been doing this checking they would have noted the redirection to the new version of gallery and how the URL in question really doesn’t exist.<\/p>\n

What’s interesting is that the ‘person’ emailed the admin@ address linked to in the top of the main page, not the one in the WHOIS records, making me think that it’s a bit less automated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
