I gave you the definitions, and you agree with them, then go back to what you originally said. There is a difference.

well i don't see one. if i haven't asked to be emailed about it ("b" or "c" above) then it's unsolicited, and i call that spam. if i've asked to be mailed about that specific product/offer/whatever, then i expect updates on that. not someone's idea of "oh this is a good match..."
sounds like you consider "b" or "mailings" to be fine, so if i subscribe to a webmaster list from some place and they resell it to a company who is selling webmaster products... that's ok? because it's a "mailing" and not just a random spam? btw, i'm going on the assumption your first post about "targeted mail" is regarding "mailings" (b) or "opt-in lists" (a)
i have never said that opt-ins are an issue. people subscribed for a reason... and that is not spam. emailing the people from reselling their addies off opt-in lists or random bullshit emails to people is spam.
