Brian, it got me annoyed. It wasn't offensive, it wasn't SPAM, nor any type of advertising. It was a simple message containing nothing else but an "Hi".
I am cool on being contacted by unknown people as long as they manage to make me understand why they are contacting me or why it would make sense to get in contact. Else they are considered to be spammers. If we're in a chatty mood, well then post the address in this group and invite people to chat. Or just post a public wave with the title "Who want's to chat" or whatever. I recognize that I got a bit too aroused by that tiny litte insignificant Wave, but I believe my point of view is valid. I posted that complaint here because this is the main place where Wave related stuff get's discussed. Not just API stuff. Maybe we're able to outline a way to minimize such annoyances.
