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. -- HTTP://www.HIPCRIME.com

It doesn't matter if you get one or one hundred messages - both are still annoying as hell. If I wanted whatever you're advertising or selling, I'd come look for it. I'd prefer that you not mail me. --- Zach Babayco zachb@netcom.com <----- finger for PGP public key http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/4127

I suspect you may soon be hearing from far worse than I ... Some punks take their colors seriously. EmailRobot sent
ONE message to EACH address. Are you guys so unskilled in arithmetic to understand the difference between 1 and 100?

The same useless and boring message posted by rote to a huge collection of addresses is spam, unless participation is voluntary and consensual, in which case it is a mailing list. :) Given that less than 1% of those spammed are likely to reply, and merely hit the delete key and curse a bit, you are hereby awarded approximately 100 dead skunks. - r.w.

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
