Well, I've just received my first unsolicited commercial email to the address I've advertised in my profile here.  Given that it takes some effort to extract it, I'm not concerned that this might be the start of a flood, and given that it's advertising for applicants to join a start-up currently in stealth and going beta in February, it's mostly "on topic."<p>It is, however, unsolicited "commercial" email.<p>Via HN.<p>It's a shame.  I'd come to think of HN as somewhere a bit special, and that's gradually being eroded, which makes me sad.<p>(EDIT: That last bit used to to read "Shame." but it was misinterpreted, so I've expanded it.)
Spam via HN ...
