> SPAM, regardless of the cause, is *BAD*!!! We should not mass-email anyone.
I disagree. Unsolicted SPAM is pure evil. Solicted SPAM is certainly
acceptable. There are many companies I deal with that I request their
SPAM because its valuable to me (discounts, special events, promotions
etc) and I know they dont abuse me. Other people I do business with I
woudl never give them my information or if I did I certainly would opt in
for them to send me anything.
