i must get 20+ messages a month from various vendors. mostly part of being a
WISPA member.
i glance at most...but most often just use shift-delete a whole lot.
I can mention several things I have really appreciated getting from "spam"
* Baicells Black Friday Deal
* Jeff Broadwick's newsletter posts
* Chuck Mccown's product announcements
I guess there are other product announcements I prefer too.
I shop at Baltic a lot, i usually read their stuff

No, I did not know that. It doesn't say so when you sign up for the list.

Participating on the list isn't quite the same as inboxing me directly with
a canned message.
> I used to do it every Friday right here on this list.
Your list, your rules. I still don't think it's cool to send out
unsolicited commercial messages without an opt-in. Furthermore industry best
practices include using a double opt-in. Mailchimp support double opt-in:

In summary: I did not know that by joining the Af list I would, unbeknownst
to me and surreptitiously, be signed up for another direct email list.
