Exactly..."Big Deal"! I have to agree w/ this one.
What do you do when you receive unsolicited flyers and what not in your snail mail? You simply throw it away!
What is so fsck'ing hard about clicking a freaking button to delete the message? Or as this post said, filter out the crap?
People get worked up on the most stupid little things and make excuses:
"It clogs bandwidth"
What the heck does the snail mail do? That clogs up more than just bandwidth...they have to have carriers ship snail mail around the country...so that means more traffic (land, sea, and air) then there's the frustrated postal worker who kills his co-workers, then there's the rising postal costs to help the Postal Service post profits (although they are a non-profit organization).

Unfairly? I think not...you misunderstand the contractual agreement. Domain registry was a contract that was fairly awarded to NSI. The contract was a research contract. They had no way of knowing that domain registry would become such a commercial cash cow.
Well, now the contract is nearly up and as you can tell, other registrar's are coming online. Domain registry is getting commercialized. NSI did not and still does not have a monopoly.
When I registered my domains, it was through NSI. When I read the agreements and what not, it was specifically stated in the agreement that if you are an established customer of NSI, you agree to receiving mail (such as this).
Last I checked, if you register a domain and you pay NSI (or you indirectly pay for the registration), you are an established customer of NSI. Thus, you have agreed to accept email from NSI such as this one.
Perhaps people should take the time to read the legal crap before making accusations!

This would not be effective as that address is an autoresponder...nobody actually sees those emails...
at least as far as I could tell...
