Technically, you are correct. However, it is annoying (especially when it comes from 
someone I know), and shares many features in common with an email virus (like sending 
messages to everyone in your address book and forging messages to look like they came 
from a friend). The worst thing is that Plaxo makes you feel like you are being 
anti-social if you don't just help a friend of yours update their mailing list. 
Unfortunately, Plaxo also gets a copy; and it would be chaotic if everyone on an email 
mailing list used software like that.
