    I understand what you mean. But *I* myself am of different opinion, I do *NOT*
    want *ANY* spam. Advertisement should be very people have accepted it. Opt-In
    is ok, newgroups that allow ANNS are ok, adding blurbs to update mails to
    *your* customers is ok, making deals re blurbs with others is ok as long as
    these are no extra mails sent, ... SPAM is not. Although some people would
    probably buy the product the image damage is far bigger than the gain...
