Q: I am interested in bidding on your 7 legged spider, but my Vista program seems to have a bug in it. Is your seven legged spider Microsoft enabled or is it an Apple Spider? Nov-11-08

Q: How do I take care of it? Is there any healthplan in progress? What happened to his eight leg? Nov-11-08

Q: Do I have your permission to just right click on the image of the spider drawing, click save image as, and send a copy of it to American Breast Cancer, in lieu of money, of which I have none, which is in keeping with the spirit of the spider drawing in the first place? Nov-11-08
A: Hi! While I embrace your intentions this would, as you write yourself, just be a simple copy of the spider and thus worthless. What I'm offering the buyer is a true forward of the original attachment as sent by the author.

A: Hi! Thank you for your interest. I'm sorry to inform you that I only accept money for this item. If you are still interested, I cannot send you the image itself however I could take a photo of the spider and mail that photo to you.
Q: Is the improved, 8 legged version also available? Nov-11-08
