X Nations - View Single Post - Mailers (spam?).... has the bottom dropped out?

ARiA · 12-16-2002, 03:20 PM

when I get into the office I usually have around 75-100 crap emails to deal with- talking toilet-paper, viagra, mini rc cars (hate those guys), if you unsubscribe they simply change their identity-
If I ever used the word spam (I generally dont like the term) that to me is spam because it is not sent to anyone with ANY interest in what they are offerring-
I believe that sending out an email from one buisness to another for the purpose of sharing information should be acceptable- BUT there is a thin line..
there is always someone that's going to call it "spam"
what is and is not acceptable?

PS. anyone know why they call it spam instead of sardines or vienna sausage??
