No, this b.s. is more like having someone put a dead skunk in my mailbox, with no return address, trying to prevent me from sending them 100 dead skunks as a return favor. And about as welcome. 100 dead skunks in exchange for ONE is exactly what this discussion is all about. You CypherWIMPS just love over-kill. EmailRobot sent ONE message to EACH address. Are you guys so unskilled in arithmetic to understand the difference between 1 and 100? One message is NOT spam, 100 messages to a single box IS spamming.
One mesage sent to 100 addresses, unsoliciated IS spam. One message sent to One address isn't. It IS still junk mail. Overkill is a time honored concept for making sure the job is done. Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@smoke.suba.com
