I am still of the opinion that the onus us upon the mass mailers to
legitimize their messages. I get other news letters that do not have to be
whitelisted. They send a short list of text synopses with hyperlink's to the
full story, so I only get blasted with ads (except I use guidescope
[www.guidescope.com] and pop-up stopper [www.panicware.com] to squash most
of them) if I want to read more.

It's not spam unless they send it unsolicited.  The point is merely that 
a high SA content score does not mean the mail was not asked for -- and if,
for example, an ISP were to choose to deploy an SMTP-time block using SA,
they risk intercepting legitimate mail.
