Is opt-out a viable concept?
There are over 6 billion people on the planet. There are
(potentially/possibly) a considerably larger number of email addresses.
I don't want to manually opt-out from even a tiny percentage of that
lot.
If instead I can opt out of "classes" of mail, a seemingly charming
idea, then I have no trust that the miniscule fraction of those 6
billion required to be REALLY ANNOYING won't of course think that their
mail is either a special case not covered by the exclusions, or that
they simply don't care (or never knew in the first place).
Either way, with opt-out the numbers are against me from before either
of use were born. No thanks.
