> giving businesses the option to SPAM E-Gold's Email Addresses

Am I the only one who doesn't want e-gold to officially turn into yet
another place to receive SPAM from?

There are two ways that a program like this could be implemented.

A one-time payment for an account holder's email address. 
This would appear on the signup page as something like...
"How much are you willing to sell your e-mail address to spammer's for?"

The spammer would receive the e-mail address and the acct holder would
receive the one-time payment and the barrage of worthless messages to
follow.

OR

Spammer goes to the e-gold website and chooses the accts he wants to send
the message to. e-gold then processes the messages, and the payments, out
to the recipients. The recipient then either has the email program filter
all messages coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] into the trash or deals with an
increased amount of worthless messages. This would appear on the signup
page like "How much would you require to be paid for each piece of SPAM
that we send to you?"

Anybody who visited the site would see something akin to the following:

"Want to SPAM our acct holders? Click here" 

How will that encourage new users to join?

Let e-gold remain a currency. They have a done a pretty good job so far,
even without selling out their account holders.
