<div>Yes, this is true. The problem for a business implementing such a system however is that a potential customer who did genuinely want to get the mail through could be turned into a customer of the rival he also emailed, who responded to his email without requiring him to jump through hoops. And then when the reminder arrives seven days later that in particular would turn me into someone who is resolved never to bother trying to give that company money again.

<div>Furthermore, I'm sure I'm not the only one reading this who feels about entering my email address into a web page to be added to a database. Now, I'm not sugegsting for one minute that Michael Simms, CEO Tux Games or any other businessman on here would use the database for anything other than the whitelisting - it's not Michael in particular that I distrust, but people collecting emails on the web in general.
