Do you get e-mail messages from "public relations" from companies?

Yes, I do, but I only got 2 or 3.
They always tell me about free software, etc. I think they just want me to post about them on my forums and blogs for free. They always seem to "pitch" their products a lot and send me PDF files of their "press releases" and more info.
I imagine it can get pretty overwhelming for people who run big sites like http://www.theregister.co.uk/ since tons of PR people for IT companies want a story about their site on such a popular site, so they send a lot of e-mails in hopes of getting a free story about their company.
