Mate, if you subscribe to any reasonable amount of mailing lists,
those "unique" occasional emails add up, and yes, I am conscious that
whining about it increases the noise, which is why I am asking this
question now, after seeing several of these keynote whatever emails
before (and it is not like these invitations are to free events, at
£85 or thereabouts at the very least, I wonder how many of us can
afford to go regularly to these gatherings anyway).

Anybody else posting off topic stuff that would ask for money would,
rightly, be chastised, so I think my wonderment about this and other
posts inviting to these keynotes is not out of order.

But I will shut up now, I think I have made my point clearly enough.
