The not-for-profit outfits seem to be entering the world of spammers. I think this is unwise. So far, in the past week, I have told two that I regularly support (to a small degree), and who sent me multiple unsolicited electronic "newsletters", that they would no longer be receiving my dollars and they may as well take me off their paper mailing lists too. Now, as I have never given either of these outfits my email address, I must conclude that they are spamming in general rather than sending newsletters out to their actual supporters -- which would itself be unreasonable unless said supporters signed up for that.

I see this as very different from places where I'm already on the mailing list for content and occasionally they ask for money. I don't have a problem with them using their usual means of talking to me to ask for support.

Wow. That is a bad development.
