Actually whenever you join any of these social networking sites they offer to import your email contacts and invite everyone who's email you have to add your profile. It's not spam in the classic sense it's just that enrique got click happy and didn't realise he was not only hitting the list with it but every single contact he has in his gmail or hotmail or whatever he imported.
Not malicious..more unconcious than anything.
Considering how many of his "friends" will write to him today saying "wtf is this email you sent me" I'm sure he'll read more closely before blindly clicking next from now on! lol

Is Enrique a list member who genuinely posted that? If so, my apologies to Enrique if you were merely trying to enlist friends on your profile.
As Pat says, it's an annoyance and considered bad form. It looks like a spam tactic where spammers obtain a list they want to filter for active email addresses. Please don't do this.

you can't put this link like that in any mailing-list, you must provide informations about you and your purposes, otherwise it's considered like an annoyement. I've got a subscription to hi5.com, and couldn't find you among hundreds of subscribed 'enrique'.
