 From the Wikipedia article 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28electronic%29

[QUOTE MODE ON]

Spamming is a kind of network abuse. It's the abuse of any electronic 
communications medium to send unsolicited messages to someone in bulk. 
While its definition usually extends to any unsolicited bulk electronic 
communication, some exclude from the definition of the term "spam" 
messages considered by the receiver (or even just the sender) to be 
targeted, non-commercial, or wanted.

[QUOTE MODE OFF]

It appears that this message was sent in bulk, without solicitation.
It also appears that you consider it not to be SPAM because you
don't object to it. But that does not (according to this article)
mean that others are required not to consider it SPAM.

So, I guess it's SPAM, and you are a SPAMMER.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
