My test for this kind of thing is: "Would it be OK if a frequent contributor to the list had posted the same information?". I.e. is the information of interest to the list? In this case, I'd say yes and I have no problem with it being posted here. If he posted the same information every week, it would be a different matter. Then it would be looking mighty spammy.
This product? I looked at it and decided it was too expensive for my taste. I'll stick with LH. As for removing anyone from an email list - pointless IMO. The really obnoxious ones come right back with a different email address and you end up playing a game of whack-a-mole. If you don't want to hear from this guy, just set up a filter to trash his emails.
