I was willing to forgive Facebook the first email, since it was actually generated when a person I know asked them to 
send it.  But I never responded, and FB continued to send emails reminding me that I had not responded to their 
previous emails.  That's definitely moving to the spammy end of the spectrum.

But they apparently do honor the "don't ever email me again" links, since I have not received any more email from them 
after following those links.  Now, under their current information monetization model, FB has probably set up a profile 
for me and is telling everyone that I'm an evil anti-social person since I have refused their reasonable and generous 
offers to join FB.
