They claim to be required to spam me. What crap. I don't want to hear about their updates, and it's completely unreasonable not to allow that. I get similar spam from some other places with no unsubscribe option because it's "mandatory". I don't think I've even logged in to Digg for months, and they send this anyway. Ugh.



"We are required" by what? Mandatory notices in workplaces cite statute. Mandatory spam emails ought to do the same (statute, or TrustE requriements, or whatever it is).
