100% correct which is but one reason that mailing lists have to be so large to accomplish anything.
That and the fact that most surfers have no idea what they are doing when they sing up to receive newsletters, announcements or email sales pitches for products or services.
Many srufers and recipiceants define any commrcial email as "spam" even though they have opted or doubly-opted in to receive it.
These surfers and recipients are defined as "morons" but do occasionally buy.
I suppose the they think that the information which they have requested will be delivered to them by fairy dust or carrier pigeon.
