I appreciate this response, but still remain wary of Cision's existing contact list.
If you are getting press releases you don't want, you may be in the Cision media contact database. Email changes@us.cision.com to inquire.
Dozens of people have written empassioned posts to their own blogs about this wiki. I'm very happy to see this conversation happening. Some bloggers have asked me to respond to their accusations/observations/questions in the comments of each post. If I had the time, I would be happy to do this, but in all honesty, I barely have time to keep up with the comments on my own blog. I know the "too busy" excuse smacks of self-importance, but this is what this whole issue is about: choosing what you spend your time on.

She has always respectfully requested that no press releases get sent to her personal email address in the one place where it is published online. Her direct email address at Lifehacker is not published anywhere online. The press releases, however, keep arriving. At her personal and/or direct email address. Which is why she filters these companies.
FOLLOW UP: Matt writes some great advice, from the perspective of a heavily-pitched blogger, on how to do it right.
FOLLOW UP #2: Someone with access to it points out that my name and personal email address is in the Cision database, "the industry's premier source of media contact info," even though I NEVER opted into such a thing, and never will. Takeaway: Cision uses shady data-gathering methods to populate their contact list.
