I'm sorry, are you saying that (a) the collection of a list containing
international e-mail addresses, or (b) sending mail to everyone on that
list, were *accidental*?  If not, I don't see where the 'mistake' comes
into it.  Or do you mean these people were mistaken in their belief that
all national and international academic networks are provided for the
purpose of carrying (without charge) free international corporate
advertising?  Frankly, I wouldn't call this a mistake, I'd call it an
example of gross stupidity.
