Not acceptable. Vendors should maintain their own mailing list and request people to subscribe to them once in 6 months. Better LI* can include additional URL from it's homepage where people can find links to vendor site, in the mail footer/initial mail. One line spam should be OK. That's kinda advertising, I agree, but that's linux promotion too. > > 3.
