I have no idea who pingsta is, nor do I like spam, but I don't think you 
can quite say "it's obvious they are harvesting email addresses" and 
accuse them of breaking a federal law without posting some evidence to 
support that.

To me, it's not obvious because I've been posting to cisco-nsp for years 
and can't remember getting an email from them.

That doesn't mean you're not correct, but you have to admit you're being a 
little over the top.
