Agreed completely. I also use a unique email address for each and every service I give an email address to. (This is one reason I accept all emails @menschel.net -- I use a new address for some valid reason just about every day, and don't want to have to manually add them all to an "accept" list.) Staples has never sent an email to any unsubscribed email address of mine, and nobody else has ever sent an email to the address I gave to Staples. Bob Menschel
