How on Earth can I find out about something I did not already know about, if I reject all but those sources which I already know about? If "spam" means "unwanted email", then you cannot know in advance what total strangers do and don't want. Send it to one and all and offer them a chance to not EVER get email from you again, the ol' opt-out option. That's polite enough. I love spam!

It may have been OK to send email letters to hundreds of prospects in 1979, but isn't this spam now? If I send out a handful (not hundreds) of email letters to introduce myself to prospects who might have a use for my service, and to let them know that I will be in their town in the next week, is this spam? Would one such email be spam? Michelle Hi,
