*Sigh* Why can't you people understand this? Spam is the nickname for "Unsolicited Commercial E-mail". Breaking this down for those too dull to understand...

Unsolicited = Not looked for or requested
Commercial = Involved in work that is intended for the mass market.
(Taken from Dictionary.com)
E-mail = I give up all hope if I have to give you a definition for this one. -_-

For the messages to be classified as "Spam" they would have to have been sent to many hundreds/thousands of people and have to be trying to sell you something.

The first person to try and argue that Kristian was doing this will be hunted down and hurt *very* hard.

It is not that much of a strain on the brain (although I'm starting to wonder about some of you) to simply press the delete key or respond with a polite "Thanks, but no thanks."

Now, in other Internet community circles, many view it as fine if they receive an e-mail asking them to join a group of like-minded people if they have expressed interest, whether it be through a web page or posts on a message board, on enjoying/supporting a particular subject.

If you don't like it, leave. No one's forcing you to stay on the list so shut the fuck up or unsubscribe.

(I receive
>Kristians messages thru

"Thru [sic]" is spelt "Through". Don't type like shit if you want to be taken seriously.

>a legit rocky mailing
>list...who doesn't approach people via email without
>their consent)

*Bursts out laughing* As soon as you put your e-mail on the web/a message board/newsgroup/chat room/mailing list/etc you can not dictate who sends you e-mail. It just doesn't work that way.

Anyone is quite welcome to debate me on this, or other issues, just don't expect to win. Oh, and Upset, post or admit you're a gutless bastard.
