[Wikimedia-l] Dillon gallery?

[Dan Collins]

What are you talking about? A quick Google reveals no evidence that the
Wikimedia Foundation and the Dillon Gallery have any association, apart
from we have a wiki page on them. Who is the mail from - WMF or a chapter?
Do you often receive snail mail from them? If not, do you have any evidence
that you haven't fallen victim to an elaborate scam? What is an
"invitation(?)" and how does it differ from an invitation?

To borrow your TL;DR, In short: huh???
