It's a numbers game - it takes no extra time and costs them almost no
money to send emails to thousands and thousands of email addresses.
Why would they take the time to remove you?
Also, by confirming that your email is valid, you're email becomes
more valuable from a resale point of view.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's not a matter of "what's the
advantage" for them to send them, rather, more of a question of
what's the *disadvantage*.
