Slow down a little. I don't believe it is kamsart that is at fault; if
you research up on George Riddick he's been doing this threatening for
years from all sorts of sites. The only reasons I removed kamsart from
the wiki is "potential" clipart copyright infringement, and because Greg
asked long ago and it was never completed. It's better to have them off
the acquisition list than to confuse other users, by keeping it on.
Due to the quality of clipart on that site, I don't think we are missing
out on anything anyway. Greg does way better clipart than what's
available on wmfclipart.
I did start a blacklist on the clipart acquisition page. No reason given
other than "don't use".
http://www.openclipart.org/wiki/Clipart_Acquisition#Black_Listed
I have listed them in the blacklist for the reasons listed above, not
due to that I think Kamsart OR Karamveer Singh has done anything wrong.
I don't consider them spammers, nor do I consider them having set Greg up.
Why was this added to the email? This is Andy's work. from what I can
tell it has nothing to do with the discussion.

I'm enjoying being part of OCAL again. :) Have a good day!
Cheers
