Actually you're right, it really isn't spam.
A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and Bulk.

This wasn't bulk by any definition. In fact, a Usenet post could never
really fit the exact definition, but a post across multiple newsgroups or
repeatedly would certainly fit the spirit of spam.
A single post, suggesting a good source, from an individual, for a company
to which they are not related, isn't spam.
