Here's my opinion:
I still contend that anyone who contacts me
without my consent and without
ANY previous contact whatsoever is - as far as I'm concerned - a spammer. And if it happens here on Mobileread, then I've got you and you are gone for good.
Unsolicited, specific email to someone is spam, whether deposited in my email box or made as a harassment to someone else on this site.
