My view on this approach?

Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam.

You grab my email address from my web site and I'll sic my abuse department
on ya. :)

Seriously, if I don't request email on a subject it is, in my opinion, spam.

P.S. Concentric recently won a cash judgment against CyberPromos for
spamming our customers. Not sure how Cyber got our customers' email
addresses, but ... he has agreed under penalty of perjury not to do so again.
