That would depend on who you were. You've just made your viewpoint clear; others have different viewpoints. I hope that this is not going to be *all* we see on the subject of advocacy, but I think that a discussion of these things isn't completely off-topic. Sure, not every message posted is of interest to everybody. Just delete the ones which don't interest you. But I suspect that that's the real problem: handling the volume of mail. Microsoft mailers don't do well here.
