That definition certainly requires some modification, because you have
subscribed to public forums, and I felt that it was relevant and
important to post the message to each one of them in order to bring
together all the interested people.  

People who subscribe to public forums often receive unsolicited
messages.  You deleted messages which you were not interested in, which
is also obviously not a problem, and a commonplace occurrence.  The
interest of other members of the list should be taken into account, so
that messages of this type should sometimes be encouraged, and not
quelled with the spam label.  Your 'd' key is handy.
