A SPAM is a SPAM is a SPAM! No matter how benign the intention and beneficial the service offered (from opposing nuclear testing to offering free[?] courses) NO ONE should be encouraged to forward messages to lists that are not clearly of interest to the subscribers of that list, especially if the message contains the potentially disastrous self-replicating request to forward to yet more lists! In terms of cyberspace, this is infinitely more irresponsible than bringing rabbits to Australia! Can you imagine how many mailboxes could potentially be filled if people were to take your request seriously? Can you imagine the burden on an already overloaded system? Fortunately the built-in listserv SPAM detector would stop your commercial fairly quickly, but surely getting caught spamming is not your intention (or that of your college)! So, PLEASE, do not send this message to any more lists (and read the material in the Listowners' Manual concerning spamming, chainletters, and other inappropriate activities).
