      Let's say that I opt in to your list.

      Is it unethical, illegal, immoral or fattening if I then add you to my list the moment I get an email from you?

    I think you already know the answer to this the operative word being "Opt In". Ask yourself did they opt in ?

      lol... I was thinking of something else, thus I removed my reply.

      Erm, I kinda agree to this, but unless you ask the person if he/ she wants to be added to your list, then better not do that.

    No!

    (That's a big no!)

    It is not fair game to add them to your list.

    If you choose to join their list that's your decision.

    If they choose to your your list that's their decision.

    You don't decide who joins your list - subscribers do.

    If you add people to your list without their consent
    then get ready for an increase in the number of spam
    complaints. (This will put your whole list at risk).

    Dedicated to your success,

    Shaun
