Nobody had talked much about opt-in/opt-out issues on this list, but they were a major part of the forum. solving this will be important. I humbly re-propose choicelist as a way of managing opt-in/opt-out status...not as an ultimate answer as it is proposed, but as a starting point to something better.

The underlying problem here is that we haven't defined the problem properly. Also in many ways fighting spam is like fighting a war - you need to learn the weapons of your enemy. I would suggest that we analyze how spam works, why it works, before trying to come up with something to stop it. Eric's post is a start.
