Uhm, have you got anything to back that up, because using that standard,
getting data from a web-site, they visited your site - or getting it
from the white-pages, they looked it up, would constitute an existing
relationship.

Thus everyone is free to send anyone spam.

I'm pretty sure that this is not the intent of the SPAM act, but I'm
happy to be corrected.
