> The reason I don't mention "I see you are opening my emails" is because it makes people uncomfortable.

So you do acknowledge that it is creepy and undesired, and your solution instead of not doing it is just to not mention it but do it anyway. Classy.

> To blame a small business owner producing quality widgets and their marketing guys for the society we create jointly is immature at best.

We're not doing that jointly buddy. You are the one doing it and you only get away with it by trying to hide it as you mentioned just above.
