Bacn leaves egg on face of email users

Although we all like to moan about the amount of spam hitting our mailboxes, the truth is that spam filtering is pretty good these days and only a tiny amount of it actually need bother us at all. Unlike all that stuff we have actually signed up for but cannot be defined as personal mail. Stuff like electronic bank statements, Facebook posting notifications, news roundups or Twitter alerts. The list goes on, and on, and on. Now this stuff has a name other than, well, stuff: bacn.
