How else would you classify such a mailing?
"Do no evil" ? Perhaps, but "Jump to no conclusions" should also apply, no?

The gmail spam filter flagged the Clicksettlement.com email notifying me that I might be an eligible member of the class action. ("Important Legal Notice Regarding Your Google AdWords Account") The Catch 22 is that AdWords now _requires_ that you use gmail as your contact mechanism. IOW, if I hadn't checked my gmail account (which I rarely do), and specifically the Spam folder in it (which I do even more rarely) I would never have known.
