 tickets like #414 are not the norm.

 "We're sending lots of people emails that they don't want, and not
 providing them any way to opt out of receiving them. What should we do?"

 "Oh, we can just tell them that it's not a problem because they can always
 filter it out after we've wasted their resources."

 And you wonder why there are people in the world who think that you're
 complete assholes with a disturbing lack of critical thinking ability?
 It's bullshit like this. It's okay for you to be, for all intents and
 purposes, spammers, because you "think it's a bad idea" for '''people to
 be able to decide whether they want emails'''. Bright. Real bright.
