I agree with Laurent about using harvested e-mail addresses to send offensive comments to list members, which is similar to spaming! A member complained about receiving off color responses from other list members, and they got his e-mail address from the list. This seems to me to fall under rules of not sending unsolicited messages using addresses taken from the list.
If you have some sort of relationship with another list member other than on this forum, then what you send them is not the list nannies problem.
