Ok, guys. I'm sure that you both agree that the usefulness of this thread
has been exhausted.

"What are you on" is not a useful question to post on this list.
I'll risk Paul's wrath and reply in the same unhelpful vein
as you have
adopted:-
I guess if you don't understand that there is a very clear
distinction between wanting something and consenting to it we
will all do better to ignore anything you say about the
consent model for spam/spam control/spam elimination, because
you are clearly on something that has reduced your ability to
distinguish basic semantic concepts to the point where you
can't usefully communicate.
Tom

spam that includes those bills is just plain wrong. So spam
What are you on? Ar you talking about your electricity or
your electricity bills? Of course you "want" (need or
desire) your electricity bills, given that your electricity
*isn't* free. Otherwise the first thing you'd know is that
you get a court summons for non-payment. You "consent" (express a
willingness) to receive them when you sign up with your
supplier, because you need them. What you "want" is a dictionary.
