haha i never said it had any "ethical value to society" :) But its a business there are some bulk opt in mailers who HONOR the little checkbox that says Allow me to provide my email to others and there are some who dont.
And i dont believe in Single opt in crap thats bs you can add anyone to a list just by putting in a name. Double Opt in is what helps insure you dont get what you don't sign up for. But there are some who dont care if you double opt in or not and will just spam you anyway. I mean i would sue if you want ;) you've got a case. Its a business just like any other and there are sometimes jobs people dont like or respect but they have to get done. And you can send bulk optin email ethically :) its just a matter of the principles of the people doing the mailer. And the best part about the US is we dont all have to agree that is what makes us such a great place to live.
