More on Spam

baaah. i'm not going to sit here and argue with you over very tiny nit picking points about an analogy i made. yeah, you could bring up things like mud and rain.. and perhaps i dont have one of those super sized mail boxes. or what if my little flag wasnt up on a tuesday?

we're not disagreeing. i'm saying labeling is necessary.

i also find it odd that as a pornographer your checking your email with children looking at your screen. i have kids. i dont let them see the screen.. cause yes.. it's a dirty world. i also dont watch scary movies with her around, we dont watch porno with her around, we dont yell with her around.

it's nobody's job but your own to keep your children safe on the net. and there are 40 million ways to give your child an email address without them being subjected to spam.

the problem with anti spam people isnt their attitude, it's the fact that they believe the only way to keep bulk email from causing problems is to stop email. isnt that akin to a southern town deciding that most of the crimes are commited by black people so they get rid of anybody who's skin is less than white? cmon. bulk mail is here to stay. it just needs to be regulated.

how bout this scenario alex? it's common.

i surf the web, find a porn site offering free porn in my email. i enter a random address (perhaps it turns out that the email address belongs to an 80 year old grandmother or an 8 year old mom)... the site sends me a confirmation email cause they are abiding by the spews method of triple super secret optin.

well the grandma didnt enter her email, and you as a marketer have to entice them to do continue the optin.. so you include racy photos in the email saying "please confirm here".. but much like when you join a paysite you dont say "click here and please let us bilk you for a long time".. you dont say "please click here to get spammed daily with our shitty offers".. so instead you say something like "click here to confirm your request to see more hot pussy".

well you just offended the fuck outta somebody who didnt request it. your email was commercial, adult and unsolicited by the true recipient.. so you, the good optin manager are just as guilty of spamming as anybody... that is if the way you define a bad spammer is by "unsolicited, commercial and offensive".
