Sorry, but especially in this biz, spamming just ain't up there with unethical or immoral to me.

As far as universally accepted across humanity, I can pretty much guarantee you most people would choose a spammer over a pornographer to have into their home.

Where did I list spamming as a specific behavior as either ethical or unethical?

Sorry, it seems like Gonzo was doing that and since spamming was what we were talking about, I ASSumed you were referring to it also. Sometimes the lines between the two of you blur. What WERE you referring to since the rest of us were talking about spamming?

I wasn't referring to anything in particular.

All the ethics stuff started with the Zango threads though, I'd definitely consider anything like malware to be unethical. It alters a person's computer without their permission, makes it do things they dont want it to do and inhibits it's ability to perform as that person would reasonably expect. It serves no purpose or provides no value to the consumer of the product other than to make a dollar for the "advertiser" who installed it.
