Well, the over-all definition of spam is this: "Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems [...] to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately."

So yes, it sure is spam. > At the moment, Just once now. > I really hope so. If every self-employed developer starts spamming the list, it'd become a mess. Bart. PS.
