Bob, although this isn't on SI directly, you have a 'miner', and it's getting out of hand. I hope some action is taken, beyond my PM enclosed here:

Mr. Swanson,
I somehow (mysteriously) have become a recipient of your Con-Space Communications "newsletter", of which you are the CEO, and which is spammed to people who have an interest in message boards. I've never signed up for it, and I use a specific email address at SI (unique from other accounts) to help determine where spams originate. And I get it, somehow.
It is no secret that unscrupulous people 'mine' SI's database for email addresses. Regrettable as that is, I can generally throw away the garbage, such as your newsletter. I must, however, vehemently protest your latest mailing, which was a 2.75 Mb PDF file. People on slower connections (56K or less) must absorb at least 15-20 minutes in download time, which is forced upon them through your mailings. Garbage spam is bad enough, let alone dealing with a singular ~3Mb file.
I have notified SI about your activities. It would be a good thing if you quit mining SI for email addresses, and I further expect you to remove me from your list (your latest junk mail does not even include a 'remove' function).
