It is plain silly to confuse a criterion for spam with some
definition of it.

Isn't getting someone to change their practices the whole idea of
boycott and market pressure?

Yes, I know what you feel. It's ok. But there are some things in
life like tidal waves that are unstoppable: HTML emails, bad
websites, and over sweet sweets... Don't try Tom, just give up
like me. <g>

know what, I am not unrealistic and know a useless pose when I
see one. I say this without a single trace of irony.
