And when I receive unsolicited phone calls from people (or machines) offering to sell me something I never expressed an interest in, that invasive.Why is it that companies will honor 'unsubscribe' in email spam, but won't honor do not call lists?

Until I learned the beauty of filtering, I considered deleting that email account.I did subscribe to my own thing I recommended and so far zero spam. i'm not signed up for anything else from where I work and I'm pretty sure it's actually over now that the whole deal is live. :) Guess I'll have to add that to the ever-growing "to-do list" of ted talks.

I think the hundreds of 1 posters that flood every Pace related topic is more closely aligned with the definition of spam. 

...and I think it's scammy and dishonest that they either spam these threads with their own sock-puppets, or encourage thread responses from single-post-obviously-signed-up-only-to-post-about-F&G-on-this-thread-people (is it in exchange for something?

a brand new member with 10 postings in 13 minutes and not a single one really contributed to the discussion at hand......are you just getting the 10+ posts so that you can spam in the marketing section?

I always flag as spam and never hear from them again, no hit to acceptance ratio.

Until I receive better return contact, I will continue to look for deals the old fashioned way and will continue to report robo-dialers as SPAM to my provider and have their numbers blocked.

I got 750 bogus spam seller leads from my website in the last couple hours and they keep coming?

He really doesn't like you and has been spamming a bunch of posts with this message. 

A general rule of thumb for most is to report any emails/messages with seemingly suspicious links and drop them in your spam folder.
