You're right that they should do this for their own benefit. But at  
the same time, it's not clear that using the Gardener's project to  
unleash (however well-meaning) distributed denial of service attacks  
on Lisp vendors' mailboxes does us any good. That was the only reason  
I suggested folks avoid emailing vendors with whom they have no  
dealings.
