You'd be amazed at the number of people who sign up for something, then 
complain about the spam when they get their first copy. Or forget that 
they agreed to accept postings when they (a) went to a web site, (b) 
registered a product, (c) name your favorite.
And these aren't deceptive forms like some sites. some are "not 
subscribed unless they get selected" -- and I've still spent time with 
people who acknowledge going through the forms and still say things are 
unsolicited. (shrug). and people forget what they did, too.
Unsolicited is a lot less well-defined than I'd like, unfortunately... 
I wish it was.
