In this day and age, while perhaps unsolicited, it's far from the spam 
that overwhelms my mail servers and annoys my users.

Often times when I get these (and it's pretty often) I just take their 
email address and add it to my list of people we send out RFQs to.  The 
worst thing that happens is that they come back with a good price, good 
service and boom, I've found a new vendor.

I'm not justifying the unsolicited email you got, but it's hardly a high 
crime worthy of annoying Cisco-NSP and NANOG.  Nor was it worthy of 
trying to publicly shame somebody who might not know any better.
