IMHO, I do not consider that 'spam.' I have been the recipient of spam email in the past, and this does not appear to fall into that category. Personally, I consider it more a personal request to some members of the VFP community. You can certainly reply asking her not to email you anylonger and I'm sure she would ablige. Or better yet, change your UT settings to not display your email address. I hope you personally never need to draw on the VFP community for assistance when you are looking for a job or a contract - because according to your standards, that would be inappropriate. I hope I have not offended you for that was not my intention, but you asked.

>Today I received an email from Venelina Jordanova - member ID 036910 - advertising her firm's programming services. I wouldn't place it in the same category as most spams, however it's an unsolicited advertisement using a private email address harvested from the UT.
