Not having enough brain or not being able to track which lists someone
has subscribed to is not a valid base for marking a message spam, IMHO.
Going back to the protocols (rather than social issues) this problem
could be addressed by some kind of token exchange. The difficulty
lies in desiging a system which is accountable to, and believable by
both parties.
I agree. The problem may be that people forget, but the solution
isn't to rant against those people. It's to realize that that is a
fact of life, and make it so people don't have to use their memories;
but to rely on tools, records, and methods that (hopefully) come
into play without always having to specifically be aware of them.
How's that for a content-free observation :-)
