Ha ha, fallen into the semantics argument trap!

Its unsolicited so by all the;

"I don't know much about this Linux stuff so lets join the I hate spam brigade 
so that I can feel like part of the group"

Its definition is spam as it was unsolicited, if it had of been via any of my 
linux'y email addresses then I would have agreed with you.

I'm not complaing I think its a nice professional mail and it made me have a 
look so it did its job even if I didn't buy.

(I must get into this advertising lark)  ;-)

It was sent to peterc at centro I've never joined their list and it was only the 
fact that the name Linspire rang a bell that made me have a look, would you 
like me to forward it on to you?
