I would generally agree with you. However in this day and age, many, many companies take advantage of mass mailings. The key is to do it correctly and ethically. The correct way is to use opt-in (preferably double opt-in) lists. These are ones that people have specifically signed up for. Out-out is another method, generally frowned upon. Finally is the lists company just have of their clients that they have accumulated over time, or have purchased from other companies. These are the worst, and I would consider anything based on this to be SPAM>
