Just my two cents here. From the original post I got the impression that the poster had previous contacts with this person, as an answer to some question he had put on Info-LabVIEW. At that time the mailing was appearently appreciated or at least no hard feelings were present. If that is really the case (and I really don't know if my impression is right) then what has been happening was that the advertiser appaerently kept the posters address in his address book and later on sent again some marketing mailing out to these addresses, maybe not really related to the original inquiry. As such the whole issue would be a little bit unclear. I for myself probably wouldn't think to good about such an advertiser but on the other hand I certainly wouldn't report him as a spammer to blocklists either and most probably just delete the mail without thinking much further. If I however receive a mailing out of the blue, it would almost certainly be reported to the blocklists I use and maybe even manually reported to its ISP and then disposed off.
