But you do cull email addresses from the net to use in your own
personal email spam.  You automatically assume that everyone wants to
read your thinly-veiled sales pitch, and "subscribe" them without
their permission to your list.  Users then have to request to be
removed.  I know this because I've already received about a half dozen
of your ads in my mailbox.

Congratulations, you've just wasted 5 more minutes of my time.
