Are you saying that my article implies the use of spamming or are you being sarcastic?If it is the first, then I think you misunderstood my position. When I build my lists, people come to my site and they opt in through a double opt in process. That way, I know for sure that they want to subscribe because they need to verify their info before I can send them anything.As for that sentence that I have under the opt in box, it is there for a reason. First, I don't sell or rent my lists (they need to know that) and second, it improves conversions.If you have any other questions, let me know.Peter Kolat Hi Lisa,
