If This Means No More Plaxo Emails, Great

One of my (few) pet peeves is getting emails from people with the canned canned LinkedIn requests - what really gets my goat is this final line in each of those impersonal emails: If you do not wish to receive update request emails from click here to opt-out. Opt out? I never opted in! Or does just being in someone's Plaxo contact list mean they assume I did? That's pretty sharp spam practice. So it was interesting to read via Jeremy Wagstaff that Plaxo are now "no longer aggressively pushing new users to send out e-mails and are adding restrictions to prevent existing users from sending out large batches," according to Plaxo's growth or not - this is good news. If it means no more Plaxo emails at all, even better news. (When writing this post, I couldn't decide which existing category to assign it to. So I created a new one - the spam category.)
