I'm suggesting that the constant barrage of emails they generate make them de facto spammers for some recipients at some email addresses, and offered one such example. I'm suggesting that some reasonable "standards" they could follow would address that without significantly impacting their usability for those who choose to join them. I'm suggesting that working on these standards NOW before we have 10 X as many social networking sites clogging your inbox might be worth your time investment. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
