Okay, scenario and question for y'all. So I buy cd imports (from NZ and AU mostly) and this one company emails me whenever they have something new I might want. And I usually do want what they're offering. My roommate pointed out that that kind of email is usually considered spam, but given that I do actually want the stuff, is it really spam? Do other people get offers like that that they actually want? Or is my music addiction just a bit overdeveloped?

In related news, I'll be getting a new cd from NZ sometimes soon. heh.

We tend tons of spam here, but I don't think it's technically not spam, since it is solicited.

That is the difference: spam is unsolicited by the reciepient (I mean, does my penis really need to be bigger?), mail you receive that you signed up for might be annoying, but you did sign up for it. :)

My penis totally needs to be bigger! I mean, it's not even visible now!

But yeah, I like getting mail from them anyway. The "Hi Andrea, Tim Finn's (or in the most recent one, Bic Runga) new cd is coming out next week, do you want it? Email us if so, John" is actually kind of amusing to get. :)
