e-mail addresses listed on both personal and corporate websites.

Excuse me but is not putting your email address on a website inviting people to email you? How is that unsolicited email?

Here is my phone number, don't call me!

In many cases having contact info on a website is required. For example...If you have a commercial website that accepts credit cards, your merchant account provider will require it (if reputible).

This does not mean I am inviting spam. I have no problem at all with cusomers contacting me, but that is a far stretch from "inviting people to email" me. Exactly how is displaying contact info an "invitation", and how is that soliciting anything???? Especially since I don't have any particular need to increase my penis size.

This is like arguing that having a window is an invitation to throw bricks through it.
