From a user point of view, spam is mail I didn't want to get,

their targeting off-line. They (and their email service providers)
can be and should be just as careful on-line.
*WRONG* *WRONG* *WRONG* It's about consent, not content. I don't
care whether you're selling porn, whether you're a religious nutcase
who's trying to save my soul, a politician who's trying to save my
country, or a business claiming it can save me a few bucks. Unsolicited
Bulk Email (UBE for short) is the problem. They're all alike as far as
I'm concerned. I don't appreciate being your "target". If I didn't
specifically opt in *AND CONFIRM* don't send it. Which syllable in the
word "NO" do you not understand ?
