To summarize... I'd love to see a truly working "Global opt-out list"
where I could say "No" once, and be done with bulk solicitions until
such time as I log in and change my prefs.  What I do *NOT* want is a
system where I have to say "No, no, a thousand times no" every day.
Even a system that generates 1000 requests per day that you can ignore
is still mailbombing.

I'm uncomfortable with global-queryable state for me in almost any
regard.  Too reminiscent of a slippery slope.  I'd much rather see
something at the MX level which can be queried, with the MX config
optionally storing state or forwarding the query on to the MUA/LDA 
(ie an asynchronous query).
