In fact , the CAN SPAM law allows sending marketing emails without prior permission. The email must include a working opt-out link, though

In fact, I would not be surprised (or upset, since I don't mind getting email) if a future announce-only list also included announcements from sponsors. I would in fact welcome such email

I like email

It has begun spamming, and trying to explain why spamming is okay, even though I never actually gave permission to be contacted with sales email.  After the fact rationalizations are not interesting to me; I never gave permission, and that is the line the law draws in the sand.
