wegcash: Another company declines email promotions

[PR_Tom]

"SPAM" has always been unacceptable at most sponsors. This newer wave includes *all* email promotion, legal email marketing OR illegal (spam).

One big problem is how easily people refer to anything received in their email box as "spam", instead of using the legal definition.

So this isn't just a new fancy form that you have to click, it's an entire seperate and further step to protect sponsors.

RE: "instead of using the legal definition" - There is a legal definition of "spam"? Jeez, the word started as a geek word stolen from a sketch on a cult British comedy show, and now it has got a legal definition! What next, a legal definition of sex ? ("No, your honour, my client is still a virgin. Although she has had sex with several men the penis only ever penetrated her by a maximum of 5.3 inches, and as you are aware, it has to penetrate by a minimum of 5.63 inches to be legally defined as "sex".)

The laws actually refer to it as UCE, unsolicited commericial email. But spam by any other name is still spam.
