"Permission based" my ***. SwapNut, was self-admittedly designed for *novice* users, and any user is apt not to realize "Notify my friends" really means "Repeatedly spam everyone in my address book until they complain to my ISP". Also the message were written so as to appear as the user's own endorsement and not the company's. That's outright fraudulent!

It should, at the very minimum, have done the following...

1) Listed each person it was going to send mail to individually (and let the user confirm each one)
2) Show the full text of the message it was going to send and allow changes (no putting words in people's mouths).
3) Only send the message *once* to each person (which *should* go without saying).

Most people who "agree" to this feature probably have no idea what they're in for. After all, what sane person would want this? It's a feature seemingly designed only to take advantage of people, and that qualifies as a Trojan in my book. Now, Mr. unregistered, go back and tell your bosses we don't buy it.
