My first (and last) comment on this subject. I understand that SPAM is annoying, but I have to ask those of you who are complaining to the list about this, do you call every company that sends you junk snail mail trying opt out? If not, why not? I find it a heck of lot easier to press the delete button on my e-mail inbox, than sort through a physical pile of junk mail, personally.

IBM (when it co-hosted SHARE) never pulled this type of crap (excuse my english). The DEFAULT for any mailing should be NO unless I say YES.
