I think this person is just passing through leaving junk on our wonderful message board (is it called spam if it's on a message board??). I don't know if this would be 'legal' as far as PC's rules go since it sounds like they would be spamming people's email.

It is true that according to Policies and procedures in Recipe for Success, we cannot purchase lists for e-mail marketing purposes. I don't know if that's what's involved with the business about obtaining recruits, but you are correct that spamming is not allowed.
