Yup, seems like spam to me.  Creighton didn't even attempt to justify
why we would be interested in this mass-forwarded e-mail.

Hint: if you want to post something that is only at best tangentially
related to free culture, at least write an introduction which explains
exactly why we should read your e-mail.  And don't just mass-forward
stuff to every list that you belong to, try to write something a little
more personalized.

Is there any appropriate moderator response to posts like these, or
should we just ignore spam and spammers?

Peace,
~Nelson~
