hi. we're not talking about a "mail list" so the issue of "opt-in/out" is
meaningless.

all we have is this: a guy authors an rfc and gets an e-mail by someone
maintaining a public database of rfc authors.

there is only one thing that calling this "spam" achieves -- it reduces the
impact of the term "spam". when a word means all things, it means nothing.

let's keep the powder dry for "real" spam, shall we?
