RE : [Harp-L] WANTED: Teacher in Philadelphia DC -SPAM!!! (No Harp Content)

["Laurent Vigouroux" <laurent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

Isn't it the exact definition of a SPAM: an unsollicited email (with
generally something fake to grab your attention, here that someone is
looking for lessons) which goal is to have you buy something (here a
registration to their website)?

The fact this is not a "Viagra" or "Enlarge your PxxxS" stuff doesn't
prevent it from being a SPAM.

Not sure it is forbidden in the US (I think this is in France) but this is
in my opinion a very bad way of doing business.   My planet harmonica
mailbox is regularly full of crap and it REALLY bothers me (plus it costs a
lot to the internet community).

Just my two (euro) cents, clearly not harp related (sorry).
Hope this won't turn into flame...

Cheers!
   Laurent
