He could take out a patent on rudeness. Lynne's blog and email notices are NOT SPAM! He is correct that with true spam opting out confirms the validity of your email address. This is particularly true for spam that is selling items to improve your sexual performance or attributes. I know that Lynne does not care about that aspect of Will's so called life. Will, lighten up, or visit your proctologist for a psychiatric evaluation. Cheers! Will Shetterly is one to talk about rudeness. He could take out a patent on rudeness.

No matter how good your work may be, signing someone up for your mailings is rude. If you are desperate to promote yourself (and many of us are), send a single email asking people to opt in to your list. Demanding that they opt out is a tactic of the worst spammers: by opting out, we prove that our email address is valid, and therefore it's more valuable when sold to other spammers. sincerely, Will Shetterly P.S. If you wish to use this note in an article about ways to make an online audience annoyed with you, you have my blessing.<em><strong> </strong></em> Dear Ms. Scanlon,

Now I want to see it for myself! Thanks for an intelligent and well-written review. (Perhaps you should send a copy to Pinter.... he may invite you for tea...).
