Argh. If the ToS doesn't directly cover plain old spam, it really
should, and in no uncertain terms. This is obviously a case of the
sender just doing a bulk mail-out, as so fervently requested in the
original message; I feel sorry for the other people in the sender's
address book. It might also be worth noting that this came through the
lego-robotics@crynwr.com gateway, not from an actual LUGNET subscriber,
so I wonder exactly what level of authority the ToS really has in this case.
