I'd call it definitely on-topic for the IETF list. It was the 
individualized spamming that I considered might be inappropriate.

(it turned out that the reason it was in my spam/mass-mailings folder was 
because it was BCCed to a somewhat relevant list I'm on, btw. If it had 
been marked as being to that list, I might have been less irritated....)
