I dont see unsolicited email (junk or not) as any different than a person putting flyers in my (snail) mailbox. I also wouldnt think spam would be a good form of advertising for a legitamite product, it would be more likely to make consumers boycott a product rather than support it. For someone to sell something via spam, they need to have some way for consumers to be able to find there product. Why not fight fire with fire and spam (or dos) them back, we have numbers on our side, they wouldnt stand a chance. > I had no choice really.
