Define Spam!
Posted By John Moore on March 14, 2005
Every 12 hours, I get an email generated by my office server. It reads:
SUBJECT: Spam Report: Mon, Mar 14 2005 – Zero Spam!Congratulations… Our server did not detect any spam in your account today!
It seems to me that I get two spam messages on that account every day. There is no way to opt out of them, either.
This software must have been written by the sort of person for whom the metal ladders need to carry warnings like “Don’t put against high voltage killer zapper electrical wires.”
i call any unsolicited message coming over an electronic medium spam – i can’t say tv ads, since i don’t watch tv – and i use spam as a verb to describe the activity of sending unsolicited messages, regardless of the form in which they are sent. i know its naughty to stretch words like that, sorry!
