A. - If they are spammers, they are NOT "good folks", period.

B. - Regardless of "A.", I don't see that as "a good thing". Timely
updates, when needed -- such as to respond to new threats -- are one thing.
But significant "new threats" generally don't come along *that* often; so if
they're updating multiple times per day, it strongly implies that they're
not getting it right the first time -- or the second, or the third...
