Nope, that's not the case at all.... I know what I subscribe to and what I
don't. In many cases, they are drawing my email address from my affiliation
with other indie film efforts (ie, they are trying to reach the industry of
which I am a part, even though I didn't ask them to.) I think you'll find
others that get such "unsolicited email" that they don't find offensive at
all (true "narrow-casting")
