At least, not unless we can agree on what "bulk" means. By the
definition proposed so far (sending to > 1 recipient, by a largely
automated means (not counting the automation necessary to send email at
all, of course)), this very list is bulk. So is every other. So are
any alerts anybody signs up for. Where do YOU draw the line?
By any sane definition, this mailing list is "bulk."
If the the operators of this list can produce evidence of a subscription
request for every subscriber, then they cannot be conviced in ISP
"court" of sending unsolicited bulk mail and so are innocent of
"spamming" no matter how many of us employ the "luser" unsubscribe
mechanism of screaming "SPAM!"
