Wasn't he just letting us know that someone was actually spam-selling SuSE? I think he just found it interesting and notable. No? I found it interesting...the idea that SuSE users would actually stoop to that level and buy from a spammer. Kind of a "preaching to the wrong crowd" philosophy. I thought of it as a kind of a funny "by the way....".
A funny "by the way" does not include a full quote of a spam, including the hyperlinks and the nonsense text at the bottom designed to fool anti-spam programs.
a) forwarding spam, for whatever reason, is a *huge* no-no
b) he could have posted a mention, as a real "by the way", that did not include a full spam mail, and still gotten the message across
c) he should have posted it to suse-ot, where these things belong, *as he well knows*
