I don't take it as a insult when someone calls a decision made by my
software "clueless". Nor, for that matter, do I consider "clueless"
much of an insult. I probably manage to attain that state several
times a day.
A funny story about the JamSpam folks. I looked into signing up on
their mailing lists, but I refuse to have to disclose things like my
birth date to be use for advertising purposes just to subscribe to a
mailing list. I sent email to admin(_at_)jamspam(_dot_)org asking if there was
Yes. This is a bit of Topica sliminess. I reached the same
conclusion, and while I was composing my flame to Berlind, I got
confirmation of being added to the list. If you read Topica's
confirmation web page very carefully you'll discover that while they
very strongly imply that you won't be subscribed until you fill it
out--in fact that don't come out and say that.
However it does appear that you can't read the archives without
giving up private information. Given that I was subscribing to a
list about privacy and spam, I found that particularly ironic. I'm
currently attempting to see if we can have the lists moved to a host
without these problems (namely, mine).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
