Of course there can:  it's one where someone opts in and doesn't opt out, 
for Pete's sake. You order something from Acme Corp and write your e-mail 
address on the registration card or check a box that says it's OK to send 
information about similar products to the one you ordered.

By remembering you'd agreed to receive e-mail from that company.  Duh.

You could go read on their web site where they've posted their privacy 
policy.  Most companies seem to have them, nowadays, even 
offline--statements on privacy policy and opt-out procedures arrive in my 
snail-mail box almost every day from banks, doctors' offices, insurance 
companies, utility companies...all kinds of businesses.

Statements like those are rather ironic after of your insult about junior 
high debate class, don't you think?

Oops!  I wasn't going to post any more on this topic.  (I can't believe we 
haven't been busted yet.)
