Opt-out spamming implementation, anyone?  Knowing you, I understand that
your intentions are worthy, but consider the raw requirements...

Somehow, email doesn't seem like a very effective way to get over apathy,
given the daily battle with spam that many people are losing.

One-on-one contacts are much more effective... the question is whether you

strategy, and put results of those contacts into a shared database.
