Relax, dude.
It's not like he's spamming you to look at his ebay auctions, or buy LEGO
from him. He's simply asking if you'd like to participate in a fun community
project.
I passed the ring off so others could enjoy it, after my enjoyment of it
died. I see this as a reflection of Orion's enthusiasm at his new project.
Maybe there's a better approach? But, please, see it for what it is. I
prefer a narrower definition of spam - unsolicited email for commercial
purposes, or useless and often inaccurate email chains and forwards. That
stuff I loathe, not this. But, YMMV.
Please don't extend your bitterness towards a fun, innocent community
project such as this.
Thanks.
