Arguably it is not. I don't think it's in the letter but it violates the
spirit as it's a misuse of an email address. I apologised on forum and I
will apologise again here. What I did was wrong, never mind that my motive
was to be helpful, and I am sorry that my annoyance led me to do it.
Feel free to ToS me, because I'll do it again if Scott again calls the LP
newsletter junk mail after he's explicitly resubscribed to it.

| (...) If you mean this: (URL) don't think you have apologised. (...) You would have no right to do that if that situation did arise. Further, where in the ToU does it say its OK make threats here? What is one to think of you? Scott A (...) (23 years ago, 24-Nov-01, to lugnet.admin.terms)
