Excellent idea!  Probably no way to enforce it, but still worth mentioning
as it is important to discourage this by default.

So if someone posts something about something they built,
but didn't ask for comments, and then I email them to
ask how they built it, that would be a violation of the Terms,
or even a crime?  That doesn't sound appropriate to me.

Well I think this is a good point maybe the statement should read more like
this.. (Using Larry's statement as a starting point)

"Sending unsolicited BULK e-mail using addresses obtained via any unapproved
mechanism on LUGNET is a TOS violation and may subject you to prosecution."

Then listing the "Approved mechanisms" of which I don't think there are any at
the moment.
