Your answer's in your reply, so to speak.   Here we two are, never having 
met or for that matter known of each other's existence, and yet my inbox 
just got stuffed with yet another note to read...

E-mail is not paper mail, clearly.

***From HJS: Sorry, still not very clear to me. I think the reason you got my
reply was (1) I mailed it to you directly by specifying your address or (for
the case where I received your first message (2) I willingly and deliberately
added my name to a mailing list so that I receive certain desired mail. No
different than asking a manufacturer to add my name to a list so I get regular
catalogs, or asking misc. groups to send me their newsletters. Nope, sure looks
like the same thing to me. Please keep trying to show me the difference. I just
don't see it.
