My personal domain gets around 2000 spams a day. I'd rather it not grow to 2001. And you don't want to know about the millions of spams our corporate filters block.
As sad as it may seem, while it used to be a career, now it's a job. And with the future of the platform in question - via rumor mill, speculation, interpretation of IBM statements, or interpretation of IBM's silence - it's difficult to be passionate about it. Passion, unless you're in "specific" professions, usually doesn't pay the mortgage.
I'm not stuck in my ways, BTW. In fact, for some time I've been making the i a smaller and smaller part of my professional life. I still subscribe to the list mostly out of my own interest and to keep up with platform issues; my day job has been IT Security for a number of years now. My i duties are at the strategic & not operational level.

Wow! How to get serious about something.....
Take the words "annoy the crap out of them" and put it into context and add
some SPICE. I never suggested you do something illegal, rather PROMOTE what
you love. Where is the passion and humor and levity in this group? Can you
not have FUN and send "annoying" emails? I certainly get them all the time
from people promoting stuff, and I have never reported one of them to the
feds.
Boy, this is getting more depressing.

Frequency has nothing to do if whether or not an email is SPAM. SPAM is
unsolicited commercial email. Here are a few definitions:

And if you do spam people weekly, "annoying the crap out of them," then you
will no doubt find yourself blacklisted or the subject of an auto-delete rule.
In addition, if you fail to provide an opt-out, you'll also be in violation of
US Federal law (not that there's much enforcement).
