*My* definition of spam is any unsolicited and unauthorized commercial
email. If I didn't ask for it, or didn't give the company permission to send
it, it's spam.

That said, I do want to know what companies I deal with are up to and what
new and useful stuff they can offer me. To that end, I allow any company
with which I do business to send me all the garbage they want to AS LONG AS
THEY ASK FOR PERMISSION PREVIOUSLY. The amount and quality of email content
they send me is then another variable in deciding how much future business
to do with them.

However, anyone who spams me (see definition above) instantly makes it far
less likely that I'll buy from them, now or ever. No forging of headers is
necessary to qualify as a spammer. They didn't ask me if I wanted to hear
from them... that's enough.
