Let me point out that Continuent also has contributed code, sponsored 
hacking, sponsored events, and I'm about to ask them to buy pizza for 
SFPUG next month, as they have in the past, and which you have eaten.  I 
think that outweighs a little spam, especially when they realize they 
have a spam problem and have improved.  Have a sense of proportion, David.

Frankly, their spam issue is hurting them more than it does anyone else; 
their PR dept frequently and repeatedly announces products which haven't 
been released yet (Tungsten, anyone?).  Given that level of pathology, 
I'm more inclined to sympathize with Eero than chastise him.  No doubt 
their PR firm was picked by the VCs and neither Eero not Robert have any 
real control over them.

BTW, most likely you got on the Continuent spam list by attending a 
conference such as LinuxWorld.  I know I did.  Just unsuscribe.
