Your comments demonstrate serious lack of understanding of business ethics, email marketing, marketing in general.
Your example is very clearly spam. It's unsolicited commercial email, which is THE definition of spam. Your idea that the spam is not a spam if it "provides value" is totally ridiculous. It's very arrogant of you to think that you can decide what will create value to your recipients. If viagra pushers believe that you need those pills, it's not a spam?
There is a big difference between bottom right corner ad on a website and your spam. To equate those things is extremely ignorant. With spam you are creating work for your recipient. He/she has to open your email, evaluate it and delete it or mark it as spam. You are forcing your recipients to spend time and effort to deal with your message. It's not possible to ignore them like they can ignore a bottom right corner ad on a website.
I'm pretty sure that the world and the IT would still reach current levels of civilization without intrusive and unethical marketing such as your spam, unethical phone and fax marketing, etc. There are ethical ways to market.
If you've "been told worse insults by better people" maybe you should seriously reconsider whether all those better people had a point.

Your comment shows a serious lack of understanding in general. Its not smart to judge a person by one comment and dare insult them publicly.
You don't know me, or anything I do. But I will tell you one thing. Don't even think you can come in a try to put me down like that. I do not deal with bullies. Also, read the site rules. People here value mature discussions, not insult fests.

Some of them did. That is why, rather than randomly attacking people and insulting them, I've changed into someone who is able to see from their POV. I'm not perfect (by far), but I do try and help everybody be happy. I don't go around insulting anyone over discussions. Much less, when from my post, I have already receieved emails of people getting positive results from applying my advice.
