I realise people have wildly differing ideas of what constitutes spam,
but what definition fits an email that you have specifically requested
be sent to someone you know, on your behalf, most likely for
non-commerical reasons?

I don't really see how this is philosophically different from going to a
web-based email account, typing in a friend's email address, and sending
them a message - it's just that in the case of emailing someone an
article, someone else wrote the original content.

Please enlighten us with your reasoning.
