Hello, Thanks for your efforts to trim more SPAM from our inbox. We all get tons of smut and illicit garbage. My concern is the suppresion list being considered. This won't stop the pro-spammer. It will end a legitimate email marketing business for hundreds of thousnds. Like many, I market value products to people that want them and I want to be able to be marketed to as well. Promoting value online is welcome in my inbox. Working online has to be done in a kind and courteous fashion with respect to others inbox. Not like the smut or the other crap out there. Being partially disabled with ruptured disc I, like many others, need to be able to market our service to people who want to hear about it. We file our taxes and do it by the book. Non of us blatently go out and mass email spam because we know it's 1.) Wrong and 2.) Ilegal and we plan on keeping our integrity online for years to follow. It is good to have the FTC overseeing this spam issue. I'm deeply concerned the supression lists, for opt-outs, will do much harm to many good people with good intentions. I know major isp's are after you guys to stop email business because of the load it puts on their servers, but we pay them every month for the sevrice. Please don't let the dirty deeds of professional spammers ruin it for all the rest of us. I know I speak for thousands that you won't hear from. Respectfully, Gene Butterly Petersburg, Ohio *REDACTED PERSONAL INFORMATION*
