Remind me never to answer when I have flu! You are right Roland. ~hangs
head in shame~ In my defence many people during the soft opt in period did
keep asking me about "sneaking under the wire" and my consistent reply was
"No way. Illegal and unethical. Then last night I confused myself. I
blame trying to work while feverish. Ah wait. I am ALWAYS feverish. Ok I
plead insanity.

NO! Soft opt-in is where you've traded with someone, gathering their email
address, *and* asked if you can send future emails [1], and *then* send
unsolicited emails (in the sense that each future email wasn't a response to
a specific enquiry by the consumer) which meet the criteria in the original
permission.
And each email must be recognisable as unsolicited (see my comments a moment
ago) under the separate EComms Regs.
And each email must give the option of unsubscribing from any more.
