captcha - clear intention is to prevent any automated software (good or bad)
from entering the site or submitting the form. I call this "blaming a
technology".
I am angry on spammers, very angry, for creating this situation. Because I
agree, most automated activity on the net is done by spammers.

This is exactly the issue I am trying to address - 
The user should receive information HE requests, and not to be "fed" by
information provided.
This is the difference between internet and television. This is the
difference between internet as we know and harvesting for information we
really need.

As for "advertisement". If I invite you to a coffee - it is advertisement -
I advertize myself, or coffee, or it is a "pre-sale" of what I am going to
say to you over coffee. And it is not necessarily harmful to you. Or
annoying.
So, I do not think filtering messages by content is an effective technique.

On the other hand, if my coffee invitation has annoyed you in any way - you
should be able to avoid communication with me. This is why you need to
clearly identify me in the first place.

"I tried to unsubscribe several times" - this is clearly illegal. "KLM" - is
known and established company. I believe you can easily sue them for
annoying.
