> No, we just differ on the definition of spam. =)

If you personally come across an email on a website (ie not
via harvesting bot) and construct an email to that
advertised
email address, then it is not spam, IMHO.

This is what Jason did.
Even if you do that several times to several email addresses
that
people advertise on their websites, it's still not spam,
IMHO.

The email address published on the website is usually not
the personal
email address of individuals in the company.

Come on peoples, lighten up. This is not a bulk mailing to
random netizens. This is specific emails to the published
addresses
of certain businesses that Jason thought might be interested
in a
deal.

Publishing an email address as a way of contacting an
organisation
*is* IMHO soliciting emails from people wanting to contact
that
specific organisation. It is not soliciting being part of a
random
bulk mailing, but Jason is in the former, not latter,
category.
