But using spam to promote a candidate is quite a downturner 🙂 On  
the other hand, this annoyance is sometimes used by the opponent  
(ahum, robocalls, ahum :-)), so who knows. But political spam on a  
mailing list for developers (who I like to think of as people that  
are aware of what’s going on in the world) is just ridiculous.
