I wouldn't describe Nathan's approach as SPAM, especially if the emails are
sent, and addressed individually. It is advertising and client seeking. Are
we to stop Coca Cola billboards, junk mail, adverts in newspapers and
magazines? You added a lovely piece of SPAM in your email to Nathan -
urging us all to look at your site, use your services.
Nothing really wrong with that unless you then accuse others who are trying
to do the same, but in a way that is more directed.
Perhaps Nathan is not being 'cool' enough with his first approach. It's no
good telling people they have got it wrong, praise first, bite later once
you know the fish is truly hooked.
