I'm not sure about all this. It takes under a second to download an email -
which is less time than it takes to turn the page of the newspaper to avoid
the "junk print" as I guess you would call it. And certainly less time than
it takes to wait for the end of the TV adverts ("junk TV"). Does everyone
get offended by the advertisements in a newspaper, or on TV or on radio
("junk air"). Or by the billboards and posters ("junk walls").

>From an environmental point of view direct email advertising is by far the
most ecologically sound form of advertising ever invented. That I think is
an important factor.
