Chadglni, while I'd agree that well-targetted spam is less objectionable than untargetted spam, I don't think the CAN-SPAM distinguishes between the two.

I've read on CAN-SPAM, I'm just saying it's a shitty thing to be complaining about. You get 500 letters in your mailbox when you register a corporation, these internet kids just know fuck all about doing real business. Phone calls, mail, and even email are the norm.
