The email newsletter is optional, you don't need to opt-in. Then you just receive the list and you will never again receive any email from me.

Honestly that's not any better. You still have the addresses and could sell them or decide later that since people gave you their emails they must be interested in updates/other stuff you build.

I've been put on too many random email lists I never signed up for to trust random sites not to spam me.
