Yes, those emails from Gizmo Project were generated by me, but unintentionally. If you are willing to try out this new IM/VOIP software, download the client and give it a whirl. And if you are tempted to run the “Contacts Assistant” realize that it will also scan your address book and send off a batch of emails to your friends and associates asking them to join up.

I am not sure this is kosher, and would suggest that the Linspire folks add a disclaimer or a warning to this assitant before it goes and does the deed.
