Little trust was necessary in this case: The request was specifically
for small files that *couldn't* be used for anything other than screen
display. Anyone with nefarious purposes in mind wouldn't be advertising
their existence by sending messages to mailing lists asking for such
small images - they'd just steal them from the web. To me, this was
blindingly obvious from the start.
