You really don't seem to appreciate just how deep a septic tank you've jumped into with your combination of "it should be opt-out" and "but unsubscribing takes just a minute, what are you unhappy about?!?" Maybe you are not using email a lot, but for just about everyone who does... We have heard that. Many, many times. From many sources - spammers, "legitimate" companies' marketing departments, etc. And you keep moving along the same track - the usual reaction of some company after having pulled back a bloody stump and enjoyed the pile of explanations of the reasons why opt-out is *NOT* *ACCEPTABLE*, *EVER* is along the lines of "OK, we'll just spam everyone in our database once and ask them to opt-in - that must be OK, right?"
