Ok, maybe im just confused.. but tell me if the below senario is spam or not.

Legend:
Person A = Me
Person B = Other Person

The Story:

Person B posts on WHT asking for assistance in hosting a now well known project amongst WHT.com. Person A ( Me ), writes to Person B and offers them the assistance. Person A gets turned down, no problem. A couple of months later, person B replies again to the same message advertising there services ( Not a paid service, but none the less a service ). Person B did not personally address the email, and the email seems to be a general advertisement meant for there mailing list.

Is this Spam? or am I just a bit to touchy? Does me offering my service ( which were asked for ), give them the write to put me on a list of sorts or to contact me whenever something new pops up? Feed me your thoughts!

I'd say it's spam... Unsolicited Email.

I think you should track person b down, and hit them with a 2x4. Works everytime.

2x4.. I'll keep that in mind.
