There's a difference there. No, they send you mail that you didn't solicit. Regarding this mail, I think all possibilities have been exhausted by previous posters: # 1) He means it. This qualifies as crackpot in my book. # 2) He doesn't mean it, but wanted to tell us all about his website, which has nothing whatsoever to do with this mailing list. This qualifies as spammer (the "asshole" prefix is open to debate on another mailing list somewhere). QED. Ceri PS.
