[Elecraft] Fw: Need spam machine?

Sorry Trev, but unsolicited email offering to sell something you've never
heard of from someone you've never heard of is SPAM.

Whether you consider "targeted" spam legitimate as opposed to what you call
"blind" SPAM, is irrelevant.  You stop SPAM by not buying anything from an
unsolicited emailer.  PERIOD.

I get that exact same email from Jack Feng at least once a week.  I even
stuck "winding machine" in my filter to immediately send any email with that
term into the delete bucket.
  
With all due respect Trev, as long as folks like you try to rationalize
SPAM, the spammers will keep doing it.  Don't be part of the problem, be
part of the solution.

Hi Earl,
Interestingly I received the same mail here.  I suspect that as we were 
both in this group when the discussion about toroid winders took place 
over a year ago and many of us were looking at various sites to do with 
these machines, this is probably targeted advertising rather than blind 
spam:-)
