The companies involved might not even be aware of the exchanges if they work through a third-party provider.
It pays to look at the privacy policy, but it seems too much to ask that we have to navigate around the site to find out if it’s safe before diving in.

Meanwhile, companies trying to send out legitimate news to subscribers are blocked by SPAM filters.
I feel like the advantages to e-mail marketing are dwindling. Soon, no businesses will accept messages in bulk and it’s hard to push out messages to people when they don’t visit your site regularly… yet.
People pay for this news! This should be interesting.
It’s like the Do Not Call Registry. Except that you don’t know your message is blocked in many cases, unless it starts to happen on your own mail server.
Another fad? Shorter-lived than telemarketing?

I hope you don’t mind if I point out, Debbie, that Nick Usborne coined the phrase ‘white collar spam’ and not ‘white color spam’. My own experience shows that legit companies do abuse the ‘permission’ they have from me to spam me from time to time.

If you would be unloved and forgotten, be reasonable.

Some nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
