>What is Spam?  I thought it was bad tasting tinned ham.
 
SPAM is also known as EMP, or "excessive multiple posting" - when someone
mass-mails all 30 million people on the Internet, for instance. Like
automated telemarketing, only worse. Within ten years the Internet will
collapse due to the volume of commercial Spam, at its present rate of
increase. A lot of smaller Internet nodes *already* collapse on a regular
basis when mass-spams are initiated. Eventually it will be the entire Net.
