Stopping problems at the root can be very effective.

I have tar, but I can't find feather anywhere in my $PATH. ;-)
In general, I plant my principles upon practical bases; I hope this has come
across in our debates. I don't feel that this is a minor issue nor that I'm
blowing things out of proportion. But thank you for understanding
and respecting my POV.

I second that, though I'd recommend a more cross-platform approach. At least a
modular approach, which would make porting from VB/ASP -> whatever
relatively easy.
The biggest problem with opt-in, however, is that it requires effort on behalf
of the spammers. (IMO, they wouldn't be spamming people in the first place if
they wanted to apply a little elbow grease.) But perhaps with an opt-in system
available, adminisrative policies for violators would be more strict, and
thereby encourage advertisers to prefer the opt-in system.
