Come on all. This is ridiculous.  Admin has total control of their site and can approve, delete, ban, whatever.  This is getting too complicated.  Do you know how many mailing lists you are on?  There are still agencies, companies, who sell email addresses.

Why is it that when I turned 50 I started getting emails from AARP, AMAC, and every damn Geriatric peddling company that exists.  I did not confirm some kind of registration or opt-in.  They all have the unsubscribe or opt-out at the bottom and I dutifully click them.  I am sure that confirms that my email address is valid and puts me on some other damn list.

Where has reason gone?

Damn I'm 48 and I get tons of spam emails, same as you. There is no more privacy anymore, sucks, but I agree with u.
