Digital BW, The Print

Dear Sir:

I'm sorry if you were offended enough to pronounce my advertisement 
spam. Thanks to the efforts of many people out there, these days 
just about any commercial advertisement delivered via email or the 
internet is considered spam. I would like you to know I did consider 
carefully before deciding to post this listing here. While I realize 
that a travel service for photographers is not explicitly about 
digital black-and-white printing, I thought that this service might 
be of some appeal to the members of this list. We are offering photo 
education on the tour, including digital photography topics. If you 
read the advertisement you'd realize that I'm also making a gesture 
of good faith to the subscribers of this list by offering a discount 
on the service to people who identify themselves as affiliated. 

I would also argue that my posting is not spam because A: I'm very 
clearly identifying who I am and what I'm selling, B: I'm not 
blasting this advertisement out indiscriminately without thought to 
who is receiving it, and C: I'm not firing it off ad nauseam.
