Plays Well With Others But Does Not Follow Directions

Here's a question: Do people not read directions or do they read them and then choose just to do whatever they want anyway? I suspect the later...

I'm putting together a tri-board that requires 5x7 photos of members. Instead of having people send me potentially huge image files, I set up a gallery on www.kodakgallery.com and asked them to post their pictures there. I provided step-by-step instructions on how to do this, including giving them the login and password to access the album. The final line of my e-mail asked that they please not send photos to  me as my computer doesn't do well with image files.

How many people do you think e-mailed me their photos directly?

Let's put it this way: more than one. It makes me nuts. In order for them to know I need a photo, they have to have read my e-mail. So WHY are they sending  me photos directly? If they're confused about how to work the gallery, why not e-mail me and say they're confused, versus potentially locking my system with the photo they're sending when I specifically instructed them NOT to send it to me?  I just want to beat my head against a wall and then turn, grab them, and beat theirs. Is it really that difficult?

That's all. Just blowing off a little early morning steam...
