Just an observation here but, having been on the net since 85, it seems the
definition of spam that I was brought up with seems to have changed. I now
hear people refering to any unsolicited email as spam. In the old days spam
was more of a malicious kind of thing, like flooding someone with crank
messages as punishment for something or to get back at someone. Having your
mail box flooded with hundreds or thousands of bogus email can have an
effect on someone, not to mention the mess it can cause along the way. Oh
well, times change, for the better I hope.
