Fact is, so long as anybody is free to send a message to someone else, then what Wallace, Cantwell, Vulis, et. al. are doing is legit. Legit in the sense of not breaking any laws. Whether tasteful or not, legit.
Yes this is true just as it is ligit for me to make arp request to their routers, lots of arp requests <EG>. There is nothing ilegal from me sending such a request nor is their any limitation on the number of request that I make.
