Me too!!!  I seriously doubt that I would EVER use the services or
purchase the products of an org./co. that uses bulk emailing.
There are still quite a few ISP's that charge for (or limit) connect 
time so there are probably lots of people who end up having to pay
a little more (even it the amount is nominal) to have to go through
these unwanted message.  (... the difference being that people
don't pay to have junk mail delivered to their homes via U.S. Postal
Service -- this would be somewhat equivalent to sending junk mail
"postage due", something that NOBODY would tolerate)
