Hi Atom,

It meets my definition of "unsolicited commercial email"... I was not aware 
that LOPSA had cut advertising deals for revenue. (And yes, if it was O'Reilly 
or whatever, I'd be equally surprised and disappointed.)

I did click the "opt out" link at the bottom of that email which then sent an 
email back that said that I've been unsubscribed from all further LOPSA 
mailings, so that should be the last one I get.

- Will
