WebWord Comment -- Does spam give marketing a bad name? What do you think of crap like this? Rather slimy, don't you think?

A Google search for "acquisition firm that purchases the e-mail subscribers" returns many copies of the letter, some posted to mailing lists(!).

"Exclusive"? Hardly.

Isn't all spam slimy?

I feel so divorced from all these talks about spam now a day. Since I changed my email addresses last summer, I haven't received one piece of spam. I realize chaning email addresses won't work for everyone, but I had very few contacts that might not be able to contact me. Everyone else knows where my website is and I always keep my contact info there.

No. Not all spam is slimy. Just yesterday I received a spam that said for every friend I forward the e-mail to, $1 would be donated to a fund for starving children in Africa.
