Well, the over-all definition of spam is this: "Spam is the use of
electronic messaging systems [...] to send unsolicited bulk messages
indiscriminately."
It _is_ unsolicited since no one asked for it. You may have gotten approval
from someone, but that doesn't mean it's not unsolicited. So yes, it sure is
spam.

it'd become a mess.

Bart.

PS. I cc-ed the list so that others are aware of the fact it's now okay to
advertise one selves here.
