Fortunately, the definition of spam is not subjective. Spam is unsolicited commercial email, whether you appreciate receiving it or not. Harvesting names from Web sites, email lists, and other sources where you don't have the permission of the recipient is illegal in the United States. Subscribers to the Elecraft reflector who offer other commercial products need to be careful not to harvest names from the list or from the Elecraft Web site. Even though some may welcome the email, it is still spam by definition and illegal under CAN-SPAM laws. On the other hand, sending an offer directly to the reflector for an Elecraft-related product is allowed and encouraged under my understanding of the rules.
