That's an impossible question to answer, because it depends how you define spam. To some, it's any unsolicited email. To others, it's any email they didn't ask to receive and aren't interested in.
The fact that a number of people did find the email interesting seems to me to vindicate Earl's decision to forward it. The discussion about whether or not he should have done so is far more off-topic and a bigger waste of reflector bandwidth. Unsolicited mail is a long established marketing method and my doormat is a regular recipient of the paper-based version of it.
