100 dead skunks in exchange for ONE is exactly what this discussion
is all about. You CypherWIMPS just love over-kill. EmailRobot sent
ONE message to EACH address. Are you guys so unskilled in arithmetic
to understand the difference between 1 and 100?
One message is NOT spam, 100 messages to a single box IS spamming.

It doesn't matter if you get one or one hundred messages - both are still
annoying as hell. If I wanted whatever you're advertising or selling,
I'd come look for it. I'd prefer that you not mail me.

I suspect you may soon be hearing from far worse than I ...
Some punks take their colors seriously.

The same useless and boring message posted by rote to a huge collection of
addresses is spam, unless participation is voluntary and consensual, in
which case it is a mailing list. :)
Given that less than 1% of those spammed are likely to reply, and merely
hit the delete key and curse a bit, you are hereby awarded approximately
100 dead skunks.

One mesage sent to 100 addresses, unsoliciated IS spam. One message
sent to One address isn't. It IS still junk mail.
Overkill is a time honored concept for making sure the job is done.
