RE: proposal for built-in spam burden & email privacy protection

The real problem isn't from companies who send bulk email and allow you to 
opt out.

Not true (amymore). Opting out involves either a click or and email response. 
Both are well know methods for the "bad guys" to harvest better email lists and 
thus this behaviour is a bad idea - even for the "potential-good-guys" because 
its rather difficult to tell the difference with unsolicited email.

So opt out mechanisms are not useful for the union of "bulk" and "unsolicited" 
email (IMHO).

(Just one of my 2 cents worth :)

Sorry for the bulk nature of this limitted-content email!

Cheers, Rod.
