Sorry, but I'm with Eric on this one. 15,000 emails per hour is roughly the
entire population of Reno per day. Most spam I receieve says I can
unsubscribe, but usually it just gets you on more lists. I believe Abraham
when he says they will allow permanent unsubscription, but I think our time
would be better spent convincing him that spamming for the Atlantis Casino
(I think) is not time well spent and it is a poor use of the internet's
resources. As a good measure of spamminess - I would love to hear the
response rates - or to see a sample email.

That said, I must confess to being a spammer twice in my life too. I sent
out loads of CVs and cover letters, carefully mail merged using Word, hoping
that just one of the companies would be interested in hiring me. I didn't
receive a single response...  ;-)

Humbly fighting injustice when I see it,
Mike
