Alana,

What you are trying to do *is* indeed spamming.

Note that this comes from someone whose creative limits reach their
zenith at ..."And I've been called "the best branding expert on the
planet" "

Am sorry to say but I will agree 100% with the sane post from John
Gaskill. What you are trying to do unsolicited to dentists *IS* spamming
regardless of how "well-written" the copy is.

And yes, spamcop has every business making my life free from stupid
advertising. The right way to go about advertising your goods, if you are
sincere about it to begin with that is, would be to partner with popular
websites in your business sector and get in on the "third party" opt-in
lists. When I sign with, say, ebay or economist etc, there is a checkbox
saying "Accept offers from our third party vendors". That is what you are
looking for.

Hope this helps.
