I find myself particularly leniant with these spams, sadly... I don't agree
with the fact that they're spams, but at least they're really not dished out
at complete random (i.e. you know your recipient at least has a chance of
being interested). Also, (gosh I'm a sucker), I always go check them out, even
if I'm not really interested in buying at the moment.
Additionally, I find myself leniant because I usually have dealt with them in
the past. Every lego sale 'spam' I've gotten has been from someone I've dealt
with before, and I at least have exchanged dialogue with them before... kinda
takes the edge off...
But mostly, I think it's because I don't get them non-stop. They're typically
very few and far between (I haven't recieved more than 1 Lego-related spams
within the span of two months or so. I'm sure if I got them with the frequency
of the "Accept credit cards! You're loosing money!" spams, I'd be much more
bothered.
However, I do agree that in principal, it's quite wrong... I just tend to be
less hostile towards them than I really should be, I suppose.
FUT theory

Ok, I checked around on LUGNET for this acronym-- what exactly does it mean?
As near as I can tell, something like "Your opinions may differ"... Could it
be "Your Mind May Vary"?
FUT off-topic.fun ? (really need an off-topic.other :)
