Speaking as an ISP that has to deal with spam complaints from our clients, most people consider it spam if it was unrequested -- thus the definition of Unsolicited Commercial Email. It's bad enough to have to deal with junk ads through snail mail, but now we have to deal with junk ads in electronic mail. At least with snail mail the advertisor has to foot the whole bill of the ads so they have to budget their advertising. What irritates me is when the spammers try to claim that they are sending out their junkmail "in accordance to federal legislation" and refer to some House or Senate bill. To the best of my knowledge, there still isn't any actual statute that has been signed into law regarding spam.
