This is the trouble with email communications: Everybody is so sensitized due to the onslaught of offensive spam that even something completely legitimate gets painted with a broad ugly brush. I have seen the email of people that have signed up to receive a newsletter go completely berserk simply because the frequency of messages exceeded what they considered reasonable. They didn't just unsubscribe. They went into a lengthy vicious rant that questioned the genetic makeup of the list manager.
I hate spam. But some of these people really need to lighten up a bit. I get about 60 spams a day that make it through the corporate filter (it stops over 100 a day) and it really only takes me a few minutes to clear my inbox of it. It also helps the temperment to use an email reader that won't display HTML unless you ask it to. That way I don't have to see the real nasty stuff before I delete it.
IMHO you aren't spamming anybody with your newsletter. You are performing a service that I would guess that most of the receivers would consider valuable. The ones that complain must not really be interested in selling your stuff.
