These types of social issues will not go away.  Giving someone your email 
address is like giving them a key to communicate with you.  What they do 
with that key is beyond your control.  That's why I think one great way for 
the privacy-minded person to handle this is to not give everyone the same 
"key."  If someone is using one of your keys in a way you don't like, just 
revoke it.  Other folks with different keys who are behaving are not 
affected.  The person who enabled your key to be used in a way you find 
displeasing can be roundly chastised and given a new key... or not.
