OptIn, oh yes, I know them...
Yeah, OptIn, those guys are the bottom of the pit in Spam Slime. Years ago when I first somehow got an email in my Yahoo account from them, I used their 'optout' link, which promptly verified to them that they had an active email account. Of course, they then proceeded to add me to EVERY spammers list in the universe, and I got dozens of messages from OptIn's list per week, not to mention all the spam from the lists they obviously sell to others. It was so bad I was forced to stop using that Yahoo account, and make another to try to avoid them.

Any judge that backed them ought to have his honorable head examined, then lobotomized. No questions asked. No trial or jury either.
