However, the brit has put a little script on his page that "steals" the email from the computer rather than collecting the email addy.
Now, on the surface, technically that is not in violation of any rule. However, we have a rule that we agreed upon that stated that we were not going to support any spyware, adware, scumware and their ilk. I think this little british bastard script acts a little too much like scumware and should therefore be classified as such.

As spyware, adware and scumware actually force and download malicious software to a users computer against their will. And this email address capturer does not invade surfers computers in this way at all ....
I declare it is legal and with in the rules!

Thank you very much Mr Umpire
I was awaiting your decision before addressing the little girl calling foul. :P
This script merely submits a form by email, the user must click submit therefore I see nothing malicious. Yes maybe it is a tad aggressive in the fact that it will persistently ask for the user to submit, but this is war... erm... business.
