Whether or not it's "true spam", it does count as cancellable Usenet spam if
posted two to three times a day, regardless of how well-intentioned or
informative it is. See

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/spam-faq/

That FAQ is almost 4 years old.

Times have changed.

No, they have not. The FAQ is in effect; it has not
degraded, nor been superseded. The reason it remains
available for reading is because it is meant to guide
people. TINC.
