Wow! Just a matter of differing definitions here it seems.

When this happens to me, rather than "spam", I just think to myself how nice I was for this person to think of me AND to take their time to actually write me about something they thought I'd be interested in!

To each his/her own, I guess!

In response to Dorian below:

Yes, it would seem so- but did it say that in your post above?

Thanks for the clarification!
