  That is a thoroughly false impression.  Your equation of "advertising ==
spam" is utterly wrong.  Spam has a definition, and it's not your say-so.  Now
go find out what a "breidbart index" is, and don't post any more uninformed
idle speculation until you have some FACTS to back up your posts.

Gee, welcome to humanity! Note that I had a *question mark* in the above post, meaning "some people might *consider* this 'spam'". Of course, subscribing to it means it is no longer - technically - "spam", because it is solicited.
