The author is not interested in reducing or eliminating spam; he simply
wants tools to validate his delusion that his spam is not spam.
Solicited marketing is not spam. For example, if I subscribe to my local
cinema's weekly listings by email, then that email is solicited marketing.
No problem there, as long as I can easily opt out again when I want to.
Furthermore, if the cinema has a variety of messages - weekly listings,
film reviews, special offers, etc, then it would be a good idea to get
feedback on what each subscriber likes, so that the cinema can target each
message at people who like them.
Personally, I'd rather get that stuff from an RSS feed. But, it would still
be nice if the feed had similar feedback mechanisms.
