[lug] Do you guys get random questions in email?

I'm just looking for a sanity check here.

Every couple-few months or so I get some poorly articulated question in
email from someone I never heard of (AFAIR never the same someone twice).

It weirds me out a little and I'm hoping that I'm not the only one.  The
most recent example follows.  (Note that I don't know what that code is .
.. . PHP?  I don't know PHP.)

As an aside, I propose that we (users of the internet) just do away with
subject lines.  They agravate me far more than they provide any useful
information.  "href add in"  What the hell does that mean?  It is
meaningful once you have read the message, but by then what does it
matter?  Arg!

Subject: href add in
From: [some dude I have never heard of]

Wondering how I would add in an href to the image logo in the line to
work:

echo '<CENTER>'.
     "<BR>\n".
"  <IMG SRC=\"$org_logo\" ALT=\"" . sprintf(_("%s Logo"), $org_name) .
        "\"$width_and_height> ".
     "<BR>\n".
     "</CENTER>\n".


Though this would work, but no luck:

echo '<CENTER>'.
     "<BR>\n".

" <A HREF="http://www.me.com"> ".  " <IMG SRC=\"$org_logo\" ALT=\"" .
sprintf(_("%s Logo"), $org_name) .
        "\"$width_and_height> ". "</a>".
     "<BR>\n".
     "</CENTER>\n".



Thanks for any help.
