How do you come to the conclusion that it was not SPAM?

1.  I did not request it.
2.  He must have either done a web search on PBM/Games/etc. or done
    some email address harvesting from rec.games.pbm, and blindly
    sent the message to all addresses he found.

It sure meets my criteria for SPAM.  What's your criteria?

If he had posted the the newsgroup, then, no.  It would not be SPAM.
It would be ontarget for here.  But not in a mass sent targeted
email message...
