Spamming is sending the same message to hundreds or thousands of
                           e-mail  addresses  in  the  hope  of  hitting  a  few  interested  people.  It
                           displays extreme selfishness and total disregard for the 99%+ that are
                           annoyed and inconvenienced by it.

                           So,  if  you  must  send  unsolicited  e-mail  in  your  search  for  new
                           customers...

                           1.  Only send one-line solicitations, followed by “e-Mail for details.”
                              People who want details will reply, those that don't, won't;
                           2.  Use proper bulk e-mail software that supresses the list of names;
                              or
                           3.  Put the list of e-mail addresses in “Bcc” (stands for blind copies)
                              to protect the privacy of your audience. “Cc” lets all recipients see
                              the  full  list  of  addresses.  Apart  from  the  privacy  angle,  it's
                              frustrating to receive a one line message preceded by 5 pages of e-
                              mail addresses!
                           4.  Put  your  own  e-mail  address  at  the  top  of  the  list,  as  a  quality
                              check, so you can see what everyone else is receiving;
                           5.  End with your full name and a short, one-line signature.
