Someone sent this to me and I am passing it on...

Interesting. I just did a scan of the ToS for "spam", and then a slightly
more careful read, and while "auction spam" is expressly prohibited, just
plain old spam isn't, or else I missed it.

Item 12 sort of tangentially addresses it:

"(do not) Stray hopelessly off-topic without moving the discussion to a more
appropriate location. (There is a fair amount of leeway here, since it is
natural for discussions to drift, and moving a discussion can sometimes be
inconvenient or difficult. If in doubt, appeal to common sense.)"

I am wondering if the poster just sent this to "everyone in his address
book" like the exhortation and the robotics list was unlucky enough to be in it.

I am also wondering if the ToS needs to mention this or not.
