I don't think so. If someone participates in the group, that's a whole
lot different than someone using it _exclusively_ to exploit it as a
free advertising forum. Like Steve Knight and Robin Lee over in the
wooddorking group - great advice, active participants, and oh by the
way, they sell stuff. But they don't just come in, drop an ad, and use
it only for that; they contribute real value to the group.

So the guy that pops in, offers up his deceased Dads minty Heavy 10,
then leaves, is a spammer?

Well, that's still different than some guy advertising his business...
