I think that ICD's spam to members has been trivial in its quantity and
offensiveness.

Every day I get viruses in my email, and dozens of commercial "opportunities".

If I ever do business with anyone on the web, I get spam from them weekly for
the rest of my life.

If I visit a web page, I get "pop under" ads, sometimes many of them.  I visited
the Jerusalem Post site, and I ended up with five or ten pop-unders stacked on
top of each other, all advertising the same thing.  I have to clear out ads for
spy cameras several times a day, or they'll bring my system to a halt.

So what Steve does doesn't bother me at all.  A trivial amount of email spam is
little price to pay for having very very little spam on these message boards.
I'd rather he spam me every week than put any of those satanic pop-under ads on
his site.
